Aurelia
Aurelia strikes a defensive posture with the apprehension that Melita will accept her offer. Her feet spread apart at the length of her shoulders and her hands come up, balling into ready fists. Any hint of a smile is gone with her concentration, with the way she takes this seriously, takes Melita seriously.
The anticipation she has doesn't necessarily mean that she plans on dipping and diving out of Melita's way at every opportunity. No. Quite the opposite. Maybe it's unexpected, but Aurelia takes the hit steadily, and rounds back against Melita. Her fist zips forward to jab in return, just between the collarbone and shoulder.
Afterwards, she takes a jolting step back and lifts one heel to send a strong kick toward Melita's abdomen.

looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue
with the warning to help me see myself clearer
