Flood blocked all the strikes and hit her in the throat lightly. "You're holding back, try again." He said as he waited.

Devika rubbed her throat slightly with one hand. He hadn't hurt her in the least, but she'd gotten a sense of his hurricane-level emotional state, and she had to take a moment to clear her head. Once she was ready, she started again, this time following through on each blow. If she hit him, she hit him. He'd be okay.
