even when no one was looking
I was still kind
I was still kind
Defending sounded more up her alley, rather than striking out in any offensive manner. She’d rarely, if ever, be the first one to initiate some kind of brawl, and much more likely to try anything else before the situation came to that, so she nodded, taking a long breath as she stretched out her muscles again.
For some reason, she hadn’t thought she’d be striking against Zavien though, and the whole thing seemed even more implausible and foreign to her. “Oh, okay,” accepting despite the immediate apprehension coiling over her features in a tight grimace and furrowed brows. Maybe this had been a mistake.
Swallowing down the nerves and trepidation, especially because he was willing to put up with her nonsense and give her the time to fumble through everything, she tried to think of it like a dance. Choreographed maneuvers, right and exact moments, motions that bend and swayed; but with those undertones of vitriol she could never quite grasp. She initiated the stance again, trying to mimic his own, and then pushed her own staff, very cautiously, to tap at his.

with all of my heart
even when it is invisible
