[ The fact that it's only the two of them, to account for this fight, may come to bite them in the future.

But Hua Cheng focuses instead on the fight itself, pivoting to follow where she hits the ground, preparing for the next move. Digs heels in, when she comes for him, and finds himself glad for it. She hits him, with her kick - a good one, he'll absolutely bruise, which is a novel concept these days - but at least he can trap her leg, with one arm.

A sweep for the gut with the other hand, straight-edged like a blade rather than a fist.

[ I'm glad that we could get a few "what the heck" reactions during the related strip checks, it's a treat.

But he does keep his grip on her, because he doesn't trust her, otherwise. If he let go, where would that leg fly once she caught her breath? Not that it matters - she's clever for getting out of the situation.

He's supporting her weight, so it's easy for her to leverage that against him when he's not intending to do actual, hard damage. But he lets the momentum take him, letting go of her leg and tumbling - rolling, popping back up to his feet



with twigs and leaves in his hair. Hua Cheng snorts, and then airily laughs.
