The side of Paulie's mouth hitched up a bit when she spoke. She was using his 'Brazil Nut' nickname? Oh yes. She was ticked all right. "Well, you're definitely off to a good starting point, 'cause this is the kinda emotion you want when you're gonna punch someone real good." Because Paulie was SUCH an expert on this. Ahem.
He pushed his lips to one side and glanced down at her hands before meeting her eyes again. "Are you a righty or a lefty? And which wrist is the sprained one again..?" Because if they were one and the same, they may just have a problem.
Good, she was on the right track already. Louisa ignored his smile but she felt herself straighten her backbone just a bit, getting into the zone even more. "
Righty, my left wrist was sprained but I don't think it's that bad now." So if she had to use BOTH hands, she would. "
I know a little about it, by the way. Adam tried to teach me last year but... something happened and I lost concentration." She wasn't going to lose focus now, it was crucial.
Louisa jumped a step back, lifted both of her fists up parallel to her face and assumed the position. "
Do I need to do this?" Hopefully not because Joao was supposed to be taken by surprise... not in a punching contest that'll be end before Louisa blinks.
