I take everything seriously,
Keeping in mind her sincerity, Zavien allowed himself to relax into the exercise, his speed and force increasing to push out the frustrations. When Flora takes his punch like a champ, absorbing the impact with only a slight shift in her stance, he doesn't press the advantage. Despite his haze of emotions, he won't capitalize on her stumbles.
When she rights herself and gives him a reassuring look, he takes that as encouragement to step up his game. His next volley is faster, his fists punching in quick succession. He tries to ignore the fact that Flora is the one behind the pads, focusing on keeping contact with the padding to prevent any injury. Zavien pretends that they're the idiots' faces as he pounds away at them. A few 1121s and a 212 followed by a 1221 had him already feeling better, but he still wanted more. His remembrance of his opponent faded away and her threw a random left hook, shifting his body into the swing as if he was striking out against the injustice itself.

Zavien
but I also take it lighthearted to recognize I can't control it.
