"Then it's a really good thing you dodged," she laughed, despite the internal wince at the possibility of taking him out by accident. "Got any advice for me? I know kicks aren't the most useful in bigger fights, but I like the extra reach it gives..." The downside being the need for flexibility and a high risk of being unbalanced.

It didn't seem to bleed any longer, and though it would bee tender for a while, it was no worse than the red mark on her chin - now that was definitely going to bruise. Overhead a gust of wind found its way down through the canopy of leaves, scattering debris around their feet. A soft shudder passed through her; Maea rubbed a hand over the opposite arm, feeling the chill even more keenly now that sweat was cooling over her body.
