[Anna takes no joy in hitting her opponents when she's trying to actually help them get better, but she's glad to see Rinka dodge at least one of them. she'll have to pull her punches a little more, but right now her attention is on Rinka's offensive. her head is turned so her right eye is slightly more towards the front, and it's hardly the ideal fighting situation, but it's what she's dealing with, isn't it?]
[she blocks the first two but isn't expecting the backswing and takes that hit as she jabs out, trying to mix things up, trying not to hit her partner too hard, playing to the strengths she sees in Rinka and her weapons by not throwing out anything wild and letting her get in as many good blocks as she needs, if she's not just trying the "dodge everything" method instead.]
You're pretty nimble. [she's talking with an elevated heart rate and that same look on her face, but it's trending more towards appreciative.]
