[It's not a completely uneven match, thankfully! Athena's fought all manner of opponents, yes, many much more cunning than even above-average psychos. But her close-range combat still mainly consisted of using a sword and shield, not just her hands. So she may be just a little rusty right now.
Like Krieg, fighting Pokemon can only do so much for her.]
Of course it wou--!
[She cuts herself off as she dodges, her words melting into a hiss as she misses the brunt of Krieg's punch, but his fist still skims enough of the side of her jaw that pain explodes at the point of contact. Hot damn is she glad it didn't fully connect. With their differences in height, an uppercut like that probably could've lifted her clear off her feet.
And speaking of height, it's a bit hard to get a good hit on his face like this, so she'll bring the heel of her boot down hard on his foot, hoping to get him to sag over just a little. When he does, she'll aim her own punch at his face, a hard swing right this time.]
[Once again, Krieg is basically wide open to Athena's tactics; the sharp pain in his foot has him hunching involuntarily, and her right hook catches him full-on in the face. Well, mask. The force of her blow has him blinking stars from his vision and knocks him hard to the right, but he manages to catch his balance without losing his footing, and he recovers with another manic laugh and retaliates with another punch, this time aimed for her gut.]
Thanks for the FACE PAIN! Try not to break the mask!
