Kaiden eyed the doll's approach warily. Seeing a toy move on its own was damn creepy but it quickly proved mostly harmless. The mershark flicked their tail slightly and the doll toppled over from where it attempted to punch and kick the mer. Tsking, Kaiden shook their head.
"No." They gestured Trinket over and held their palm out. "First, I'll teach you how to actually punch." Once the brat seemed to be listening, they spoke, "First, curl all of your fingers apart from your thumb inward. Your nails should be pressed against the center of your palm." For a brief moment they wondered just how they had ended up this kid's go to teacher for survival games.
Pushing the thought aside, Kaiden demonstrated their instructions as they continued. "Next fold your thumb in. The top knuckle of your thumb should stretch mostly across the knuckles of your first two fingers." After they repeated the motion of making a fist a few times, Kaiden assessed Trinket, "That's how you make a proper punching fist. Got it?"
