WHO: Zevran and Selina
WHERE: Danny Rand's School of Thunder
WHEN: Thursday evening
SUMMARY: Selina teaches Zevran how to maim without killing!
WARNINGS: Zevran and Selina
FORMAT: Words

It was still light out, but Selina was in the mood to punch things. The Joker was back yet again, which wasn't terribly surprising but was terribly annoying. The last class for the night had come and gone, which meant that Selina was free to work out in her chosen attire. She'd told Danny she'd wear a t-shirt when teaching, which she'd held to so far. But all bets were off when she had the place to herself.

She was pounding on the punching bag, more punches than kicks because she was better at the kicks. And there was still that sharp pain deep inside her chest when she really pushed herself. So she simply had to push harder.

It takes him some effort to flick the switch, to fight all-out against Selina, but once he does, it's done, and he's going at her with all he's got. It's enough that he sees both blows coming, accurately guesses some of what they're going to do. The elbow is obvious, and he ducks just slightly aside from it and reaches out with his left hand in the beginnings of an attempt to grab her arm and pull her down--

--but then she catches him on his shoulder. That jab he doesn't manage to avoid, and it completely destabilizes him. His fingers spasm open, and the blade vanishes out of his hand.

He turns to blink at her in incongruously innocent wonder. "How...?"

[meowminx]

Selina smiles at his surprise. "Pressure points. Good way to incapacitate someone without doing permanent damage."

She paces around behind him, resting one hand on his shoulder. "Hold still." She jabbed at the proper spot, restoring the feeling.

He blinks thoughtfully. His expression is rather like that of a child shown a new way to build with blocks, actually. "I believe I enjoy that idea." Even if his first impulse is to think of ways he could use it as a stepping stone to more permanent damage--but he declines to mention that. Instead he just obligingly holds still as she restores sensation. "Thank you, my dear. So...right there? Are there others?"

[meowminx]

"Plenty of others. And the movements for striking them aren't too different than you're used to." Which is what had made her think of it. Much closer to stabbing, really.

She took one of his hands in hers, shaped his fingers for a proper jab. "Only use this instead of the knife."

He lets her show him the motion and the shape of the hand, too curious now to be wary. "I think I could do this, indeed. I suspect I might even know of some of these 'pressure points' already, though by different names. There are moves I know to stun foes...but they usually make them bleed as well, or break bones or leave terrible bruises." He's speaking casually despite the subject, too engaged in this interesting new lesson to worry about how he might come off.

[meowminx]

"That's easy enough to do." Selina did it herself much of the time, truth be told. "But doing it clean takes a bit more commitment."

She was still holding his hand. She gave it a little squeeze of encouragement before letting go.
