"Thanks, nice takedown."He was more than just a pretty face she'd attest to that, but sometimes he was just so damned surprising.

She watched him warily, knowing how much power he could pack into a kick, but also that his balance would be given up to do so, leaving her an opening.

A forward lean dropped her to a handstand, her legs aimed to scissor around his neck and bring him down, assuming he didn't counter in time.
