It was a short list of actions, but it felt immeasurably long as Alys considered her options. Where was she to even start?
A punch: at least she knew how to make a fist, and knew that in theory, there should be a shift of the weight from back to front, a twist to bring the fist forward to land a blow upon an opponent. But knowing that and being able to put it into practice were two very different things. A kick was similar, though she theorized that offering one might put her off-balance and, thus, make her an easier target. And grappling? Well, she wasn't even sure where to start with that one.
So she took a deep breath to steady herself and then punched forward. It wasn't a very good punch, but at least she hit where she was aiming... even if she had no concept of breathwork, even if the shift of her balance as she twisted was all wrong, and even as her off hand slipped out of position, leaving her vulnerable to her imaginary enemy.
