She stared at his hands for a second before shooting her right fist directly at the center... not. She hit only the left side. Cursing under her breath Louisa did it again, rather nervously, managing to smack the exactly same spot she'd just hit. Not wasting another minute her hand flew again toward the center but not exactly getting to the point. The left side of the target kept getting smacked. "Your hands are so smaaaall," she drawled, pouting and slouching her shoulders. What was she doing wrong anyways? She gave him three constant smacks with barely seconds between each one of them!

SHE WANTED TO BE READY FOR THAT SCUMBAG ALREADY.

Paulie shook his head. On the contrary.. he had kinda big hands. Or, at least he had really long fingers.. "No, they're not. You're just letting your emotion get in the way of your focus." She repeatedly hit his right hand, then slumped her shoulders and threw three more sloppy punches.

"No, no, nooo. Are you really tryin', Louisa? Or are you just angry and mopey?" Hmmh. Maybe he had moved too quickly. He shrugged off his jacket and rolled it up into a ball before slipping his wand out of his back pocket and using the adhaero spell to attach it to the wall. Ta-da: a makeshift punching bag. "'Kay, so what you're doin' is this.." Demonstrating in slow motion (compared to a usual punch), he wound his right fist back and threw his whole body weight into one swing at the jacket. "See that? There's two things wrong with that punch: your shift of body weight and the pathway of your swing." He moved over so that he was standing behind her. "So, try to keep your feet in the same spot, but use your arm and torso.." After planting his hands on her shoulders, he gently moved her right shoulder forward and the left back so that her torso naturally moved. "..for the power, so that ya don't lose your balance if he misses and also so that ya don't leave yourself right out in the open for a punch from him if he dodges." Again, not that the Brazil Nut would swing back, but juuust in case Louisa had to fend off some horrible criminal in the future and didn't have her wand!

"The other thing is that your arm curves out to the side a bit, kinda like a sideways trajectory, before you hit the target, and this is probably 'cause that makes you feel like you're gettin' more power behind your punch, right?" Building up velocity and what not. "You don't want that curve thing.. all you want is for your fist to have one straight, direct path to the target, so that you get speed and steadiness. We'll work on the power part after the form." Now, he took her right fist with his right hand and, as he moved her torso again, he also slowly extended her arm out toward the target in one straight motion. "See? Ya just want your.." ..Oh. Whoa. Paulie seemed to cut himself off as he turned his head and realized how close his face was to Louisa's. After a moment, he let go of her wrist and stepped back.

"Anyway, yeah.. that's basically how it goes.." His fingers raked through his hair and made their way further down to rub the back of his neck. Good thing HADLEY wasn't spying on them.
