Aurelia
and that the world is always our fault
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
The quiet 'fuck' from Sunjata left Aurelia with a cocky half-smile, though she wasn't one to gloat about small victories. This was just getting started; a fight wasn't won until someone gave up, after all. Although, it was nice to be the one to land the first blow. She at least had that over him.
He recovered quickly, as expected; it was not a hard enough strike to incapacitate. Not for someone as well-built as Sunjata, anyway. He moved back at first, spinning, then swiftly he made his move to throw her off balance. She was caught, and slightly stunned. His leg was wrapped around hers. She felt the sweeping motion he attempted and, at the last second, she locked the joints in her legs.
"Oh, really?" She said, raising two skeptical eyebrows at him, that same cocky smile returning to her lips. She knew she could drop him to the floor.
In one quick motion, she grabbed him around the back with one arm and attempted to pull back that same leg he had his own foot tangled around. In quick succession, she moved her other leg in towards his leg's inner thigh, as if to grapple it with both legs. Wrapping her other arm around him, she attempted to spin him off of his feet. If she succeeded, they would land in a grapple on the ground. It was not a matter of overpowering Sunjata but, of using his own center of gravity against him.

and I've been thinking that when we thought
the world would break us, that we weren't wrong
the world would break us, that we weren't wrong
