"Maybe you can't." Vesper sasses back. It was a bluff to be sure, but given that he was a demigod and the only mind in all of Torchline that Jack didn't have access to, it was one he felt confident enough in making. Maybe Safrin gave her baby boy the ability to gain insight of his surroundings from inanimate objects.
Raising his eyebrows at the criticism, Vesper nearly opens his mouth to ask whether or not proper form had fuckin' anything at all to do with Jack's quest, when he found the words dissolving on his tongue as his old man offered up some helpful advice. Tracking the captain's movements as he'd done with so many other things when he was up in the clouds, though it was another thing entirely to put it into practice, Vesper was sure his second effort would be a good deal better than his first for the demonstration.
If the second punch is softer, it doesn't feel that way for the bruise forming on the demigod's shoulder, but never mind. Grunting into the pain and finding it easier to bear when it wasn't on the heels of complete fucking surprise, Vesper does as instructed: planting his feet this time he pivots from the hips, utilizing the length of his arms rather than shuffling his feet forward to try and connect.
