Throwing someone to the ground's one thing, but if you're punching wrong or inefficiently, I'm only gonna know if I'm feeling the punch in the first place.
[ HE FULLY BELIEVES LILI AN CAN PUNCH A GUY ALREADY HE'S JUST GONNA MAKE HER BETTER AT IT.
[SIIIIIIGHS. she seems to accept it then, rolling her shoulder again and taking a second to focus - it's almost like she's working herself up to be angry about something, given that her brows furrow.
when she throws a punch at ash's hand, even if it's not entirely clean, there's a lot of confidence and force behind it. even though she's small, it'll probably sting a bit]
the punch is impressive -- no point in being afraid to punch someone or you'll just hurt yourself, right? and yes, his hand is stinging. well done. ]
The hand's right -- don't misplace the thumb or you will break it and then you're fucked. But careful you're not punching with your knuckles -- [ he rubs his fingers over the space between his 2nd and 3rd knuckles ] -- this part's gonna give you the most power and mean you don't crack your knuckle punching someone in the nose.
[hmmm. her shoulders settle then as she goes from purposefully angry to a thoughtful student, mimicking his action and rubbing over the space between her second and third knuckles]
Is the nose a good place to punch? I was told that upward is a good way to knock someone out.
Yeah, but not with your fist? [ he makes a sharp upward motion, centered on the heel of his hand ] You use the heel of your hand and it'll at worst break their nose.
[HMMMM she mimics the motion then - once in the air, and then slower toward ash's own face, even though she refrains from actually hitting him and giving him ample time to move. seems like she just wants to visualize what it'd be like to actually hit someone like that]
I do - but the throat is something to keep in mind.
But don't get me wrong. I'm violent, but I'm not bloodthirsty. I'll smack someone if they really piss me off, but I don't believe in taking life unless it means saving my own.
[she'll just. clarify that, because she knows that she can come off as pretty vicious despite being small]
You've done too many speeches about doing the right thing, and being honourable to the people around you to come across like that. But if you just go for it with too much power, it could be accidental.
[ it's more th accidental part he could see happening, than lili seriously going after someone's pressure points as an opening attacking. ]
[huh. it's brief, but there is mild surprise on her expression when he says that - kind of like she's still caught off guard that people are listening]
Wei Wuxian said that unless I'm looking to kill, I probably shouldn't try it since it requires too much control to keep from outright taking a life.

Punch my hand.

You just want me to hit you? No instruction? Is that even teaching?

no subject
Otherwise you'll just hurt your hand.
no subject
I see...
[just keep teaching her scrappy fighting]
no subject
If you wanna aim for the eye, then punch like normal. But the nose is to break, but can fuck you up in return even if you hit it right.
You can also punch someone in the throat, if you're aiming to delay them and get away.
no subject
I can kill someone if I have to, but I'd rather not resort to it immediately.
no subject
[ hm. ]
Punch someone in the throat and they'll choke, but not exactly lethally. Kicking the groin's effective too, but I think you know that one.

[and well, at least she was listening.]
no subject
Yeah, so knock 'em flat or throat punch them instead. [ like he's been saying. ]
Or get out of there, but that's not always possible.
no subject
she seems to think about something regarding that - ]
... I already told Akira my power and team this week, but if we're going to keep working together, I'll tell you next week.
[she doesn't seem to acknowledge the change in topic?]
no subject
Eh, there's no rush. I haven't told anyone my stuff yet. [ not even akira ]
[ topic just is just... go, apparently. ]
no subject
No one?

Allow me to make the suggestion to tell others in a somewhat timely fashion - if only so that it's possible for others to confirm your ability.
no subject
I’m waiting until it’s “safe” to share information again. Don’t get in a twist, I know what I’m doin’
no subject
[HER INFO DUMP]
no subject
People I’m willing to tell first have been more eager to share their secrets. [ which is fine by him, y’know ]
