[Training] [SE] the sound of silence

And I know I'm asking too much
And I know I'm taking control

This time, her punch hit (although Soh was pretty sure he let her land it), and he retaliated, successfully grabbing her arm and aiming a knee towards her stomach. Unfortunately, one of Soh's trainers like to aim for her stomach, always yelling that her abs weren't tight enough, so she was ready for that particular tactic; she twisted rapidly to one side, and Jude's knee merely skimmed across her skin rather than directly hitting her - and yes, she did remember to tighten her abs, thankyouverymuch.

Now, though, Soh was in a bit of a predicament. With her arm held and her twist having put her off balance, she would normally have done something like try to tangle her staff in Jude's legs to try and knock him down. As it was, she had nothing to work with, and her mind promptly went blank. Her gut reaction, then, was to jerk her caught arm back towards herself, hoping to catch him by surprise and free herself, while aiming her off hand in a somewhat wild (read: imprecise) jab towards Jude's side.

But a heart that's not worth breaking
Isn't worth much, not at all
