[ he's trying to get a handle on rin's style, here - so he doesn't seem to mind playing defensively at all. xie lian returns that smile in the brief moment that rin turns, and there's approval on his face. ]
Very good! [ this genuine exclamation comes with the fake out - xie lian ducks the right, right arm coming up to block the left punch, and he's delighted with the skill of the move, because it does take more exertion for him to dodge it. unexpected! clever. rin reminds him of someone, just for a second, a fighty, scrawny soldier he once met on the battlefield.
he seems to take the hint of attacking, though, and this time, retaliates with a counter. light on his feet, xie lian will take the brief moment of opening offered to aim an upwards punch from his left arm, pulling the strength so he doesn't like, cave rin's face in - this isn't a real fight, after all - but still aiming to make a good sparring contact.
fun, this is very fun. he loves this kind of stuff, just lives for it. ]
[Thank you for not caving in Rin's face, he doesn't have his fast healing right now.
Not that Rin would have been hit in the face anyway. As soon as his punch is dodged, he ducks down under Xie Lian's arm, tucking into a roll off to the left side, and he springs out of it ready to grab at whatever part of Xie Lian he can.
Is he going for a suplex? If he can get his arms around Xie Lian's waist he will be, yes.]
