Lena
even when no one was looking
I was still kind
I was still kind
Koa’s dramatic antics did make the situation better – because despite her evident and tangible discomfort, the pantomimed actions did make her laugh. Like being within the ridiculous theater district, the pretenses of gasps and mocking danger had her shaking her head. “Certainly. I know I must seem very threatening,” she gave in return, clearly sarcastic even in her light tones. Especially with her nearly always instinctive notion to run away.
The knee to the groin didn’t need to be explained though – that was one facet that all women knew and understood. “I understand,” and she winked to show her comprehension, no need of further discourse on the matter.
And she’d be careful.
The demonstration showed a more brutal side to the semblances though, and she inwardly grimaced again, trying not to show it on her face. It probably came out more as concentration with her furrowed brows, taking a few steps away to practice the lift to her knee and movement of her hips with a far more potent and powerful impact.
Only after two or three motions did she return to actually try it on Koa – but clearly with an apology on her lips and far less action, bringing her knee upwards with lighter aspirations.

with all of my heart
even when it is invisible
