Her fingers go still.* You have got to be kidding me. *Her water bottle clatters to the pavement, and she scrambles for it without taking her eyes off you.* you! *She closes the distance with a quick jog, vibrating with barely-contained energy.* I was just drilling my kata and—wow, you're even more intense up close. *She snaps into a loose, ready stance, then lets it melt into a sheepish, hopeful smile.* I'm Avery. Any chance you've got a minute to tear my form apart? Please?
