She had been fully prepared to give Sam the benefit of the doubt - ready to test her reflexes against the weapon so that he hopefully wouldn’t be struck by her backlash upgrade.

She watches the chakram arc up and then back well ahead of her, and she has to fight to hide a smile. “That’s some good height,” she adds, wanting to offer him encouragement. “Next time try to keep it level when you throw it and it won’t arc up so much.” Trying to make a demonstration of just what she means by that, Wessex emphasizes a flat, simple flick of her wrist.
“Just practice, I think. I wasn’t great at it at first either.” She specifically remembers a time on the docks of Torchline when a young asshole laughed at her. Maybe rightfully so. “But even so, you also have to be aware of the force needed for distance, and things like that.” The core if it was ‘practice makes perfect,’ but it’s true that having some knowledge of weapons - particularly something like a bow and arrow - made putting it together easier.
