[Anger sparks Shiro’s eyes and he forces it down. He remembers the pit in the ground with claw marks on the walls. A vast prison with demons dropped into it.
He grunts in pain as he takes a targeted attack. Focus. He takes in a deep breath and releases it. The anger rolls back but it fuels his next swing. It’s a smooth punch and he falls back into the same rhythm of movement he’d used against Zarkon. It’s something he learned the arena.
There is a calm space where he can react without being consumed by rage or fear. No more swipes. He takes another hit along his forearm and leans back hammering out a savage kick. He can take a lot of punishment. So long as the person doing it isn’t massive and muscled to hell and back.]
What do you want to be? How do you want to live?
[What path does she want to carve in this world and others? That is what matters most. Her targeted strikes are good. If he takes too many he will go down. He focuses on dodging and striking when he sees openings or creating fake openings. He had exploited that tactic against arrogant aliens. Velvet is smart. It won’t work for long.]
