Carolyn didn't like it one bit. Tomas was letting himself get distracted and distractions could lead to death. It was time to do something about it.

Folder in hand she went to find her brother.

	Carolyn's arm went up and she went with the momentum to spin out of the way of his shoulder. She tried to drop an elbow down between his shoulder blades. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The elbow hits, sending him staggering forward. He catches himself, spinning back towards her with an arm extended for a backhand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn ducked, but not in time. The backhand caught her and the momentum took her to the side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He follows up, coming around with the off-hand in a straight jab, trying to take advantage of still having her off balance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn didn't recover her balance in time to avoid the job. It hit her square in the chest and the breath whooshed out of her. She took a few steps back to give her a second to recover. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her instincts are right on. With the rapid turn, he can't recover his footing enough to advance, forcing him to just use the time to get back to a solid stance and set his feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn is breathing a little heavier, but she's not about to give up. She advances. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's in about the same shape. She's gotten her share of hits in as well, and her style is more lethal than his. Even just sparring, the effects show in hints of fatigue from trying to keep up with her. He lets her advance, settling in and catching his breath. "You've been learning some new tricks."

	"So have you," she said as she approached. She went in for a fast strike to his back where there was a nerve cluster. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He knows what she's going for. She's toof ast for him to avoid it entirely, but he shifts enough to take the punch to the ribs instead of her target zone. It still hurts, but he's not paralyzed.

Yes, he has been learning some new tricks. Time to try one of them. He drops low, going for the sweep kick while she's in close, trying to take her feet out before putting an elbow to her thigh.

Its a fairly typical Bat-trick, trying to lower opponent mobility in a non-lethal fashion. Not part of his typical repertoire, but effective in its own way. He's not sure she'll be expecting him to try the sort of thing he's picked up by watching Maria and her crew.

	Carolyn wasn't expecting it. She started to move to avoid the leg sweep and the elbow caught her in the thigh. The leg buckled and her balance was gone. She was totally open for a take down move. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's more than a little surprised, and likewise positive that will never work again. Still, he's going to take advantage, he goes for the ankle lock, to try and force her to submit if he can get the hold in place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn knew what he was trying to do and kicked at his groin with her free foot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-03-19 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	That sends him staggering back, dropping to one knee, clutching at his groin with a wince of pain. He hadn't seen that kind of dirty trick coming. "Stalemate, as usual?" he finally asks, as he's recovering his feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-20 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn climbed to her feet. "Sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2014-03-20 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	With a bit of a wince from the kick, he moves towards her to offer her a hand up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-20 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn took the offered hand and got her feet under her. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course... no matter what else happens, or who else... you're my sister first. I will always be here for you." he promises, still clasping hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-20 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn nodded. "I know. I'm here for you." Even if he had bad taste in women. "I'm going to head out for Indian. Want me to get you something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn smiled. "It has been awhile. Sure. Let me shower quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Twenty five. I need some time to dry my hair." Carolyn wasn't a girly girl, but she hated going out with wet hair. It took a little to get it dried to where it didn't bother her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not a problem he really had. "No problem. Twenty-five minutes then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-03-20 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn nodded and headed for the shower. Workouts always made her hungry and she was looking forward to some time out with Tomas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
