HARPER
Her disappointment doesn't dissuade him from his goal of building her up, shooting her a grin and a shrug as they both pulled themselves up and back onto their feet. "Nothing ever does at first, that's what practice is for. And for a second try that was great." Good enough that he was ready to move on, to make it slightly more difficult. He intends to at least make her work up a sweat by the end of the session.
Once more her nerves are apparent, but she doesn't back down, which he silently commends her for. Harper has vast experience in pulling and redirecting his punches, but the idea of being punched in the face is intimidating regardless of how well-trained your partner is. But there's nothing that will soothe her nerves quite as well as her succeeding. And so Harper goes through the motion of a regular punch, leaving himself wide and moving with enough speed to make her act, but still quite slow in comparison to what reality would consist of.
