Day 38: Sun Room

[paper-murdock.livejournal.com]

Matt had to bite his tongue hard to keep from insisting he would be perfectly comfortable in the library, really, and could he please stop being led around like freaking cattle? As the nurse drew him into the empty Sun Room, the answer to that seemed to be a resounding 'No'.

Great.

He was given the usual talk of 'be nice', 'maybe someone will come back and you'll have someone to talk to' and the strangely sincere 'we're getting a few books in braille, they just haven't arrived yet'. He was sure he believed that one, but it would be nice to not be singled out for a change.

Reminded him of grammar school actually.

What a coincidence, he hadn't been fond of grammar school either. Settling back on the seat he'd found himself in, the Daredevil closed his eyes and debated on the merits of a nap as he listened to the occasional person stop by and scribble something down before leaving. A message board or something? He'd have to ask someone about that.

The defense was a little weak, but the quickness of the attack was enough to make up for it. As Soubi's hand shot out, Mori twisted his upper body to avoid it. Or he would have, if Soubi hadn't quit halfway. That was no good. Any attack had to be given wholeheartedly or it was as good as dropping one's guard, leaving the body open to attack.

Taking Soubi's wrist in one hand, Mori gently pulled on it to extend Soubi's arm all the way, as if he'd finished the punch. Then Mori went through the motions of countering, bringing his forearm up inside, pushing out against Soubi's arm to block. He did it all slowly as usual and then stopped, looking at the other man. Mori reached out and took Soubi's other arm, bringing it up in a more solid block of his left side, holding his arm firmly for a moment to show him where to place it for a proper defense. "Strong defense is the best offense. He won't pull his punches - don't pull yours."
