[ Hei offers no reaction when she approaches, nor when she reaches for his mask. With his arms pinned down and his legs mostly immobile, a bug caught in resin, he can't physically resist. As her fingertips ghost near the skin of his face, it'd be easy to knock her out with a heart-juddering jolt of electricity. ]
[ Instead he lets her take his mask off. The prior fight has opened a seeping red cut across his cheek and the bridge of his nose. The orbit of his right eye is purpled and puffy. But his expression is coolly neutral, the determination to look her straight in the eyes unwavering despite his tactical disadvantage. He's been in this position before, but not often. Usually it's at the hands of fellow professionals on the same tier as he is. (He'd say it's humiliating, getting nailed by an amateur. A teenaged bratgirl. Except he secretly loved every minute of it. No bullshit, just a real balls-out fight.) ]
But that wouldn't get you off as much as this did.
[ The words are cutting. But a crowded cafe and a cup of cappuccino and his tone could almost be called casual. Instead, he's dressed in blood and bruises. (But when is that ever the opposite of casual in his world?) ]
