"I'm so sorry," she murmured sheepishly, even as she staggered to her feet and rubbed her forehead. Seren had absolutely not meant to headbutt him, but in the momentary panic heads had simply collided. A high color in her cheeks could come from anything - the cold air, the strain of the spar - but the way her eyes kept darting away rather than meet his gaze spoke of confusion and almost... fear? Something had happened there, and it made it hard for her to focus on the bout.
Maybe that was why she missed the feint, and failed to tighten her core muscles as the elbow came to jab her in the gut. Air whooshed out of her lungs in a soft grunt and Seren doubled over, coughing and half retching as pain flared up in the midriff. Before Sah could come at her again, she held up one hand in defeat and clutched the other, struggling to breathe.
"I give," she wheezed, to the amusement of the stars that wheeled overhead. Surely they had to be laughing at her for this.
