[When Shiro counters with his own kick for the first time, it's well-aimed; with a grunt, Velvet loses her balance and drops to all fours, forcing her to recover acrobatically.
His robotic arm adds to the challenge more substantially than expected. Her tolerance for pain is very high, but even for her, there's a limit to the number of times she can slam a fist or foot into it at full strength. In the long term it's going to wear her out, so she needs to adjust her strategy.]
… Just what it sounds like. He wanted followers who fought only for reason and his vision of the greater good.
[Velvet ducks his next attack. To deal with his arm, she starts to focus more on dodging, and – when opportunities present themselves – launching targeted attacks that will be tougher for him to block.]
