AINO
Her fist landed with a satisfying crunch, and the sting in her own knuckles sang of success. Aino danced back to regain her posture as Sah did, wiggling her eyebrows as if to say there was more to have if he liked it that much.
He was quick on the crack back, if nothing else. As the young man closed the distance, Aino watched his posture carefully for any cues on what was to come. As his fist searched for her stomach, she tightened up her core as much as she could and accepted the blow straight on, with a soft grunt; he had some power behind it, but not more than she could weather. The elbow though, that would hurt; straightening up in the single moment, she backed her chin away from the cutting blow and drove a knee up towards his crotch, in retaliation.
All was allowed in the Halo style of combat; it was survival of the fittest, and rules meant nothing in the wild. An ursur or cannibal would not ask permission, or play fair - thus, neither should they.

For the good times that we share,
and the bad times that we'll have
