[So it was going to be that way. Though Mystique did give him credit for also taking on such a stance, waiting for her to act first. And if that was what it would take.

Stepping forward she shot out a hand kept in a knife blade hold, fingers all outstretched and held together, thumb tucked in against her palm, and aimed it at his neck. She wasn't planning on landing the shot, instead waiting for him to block it so she could reach out and grab his arm. Depending which one he used she would either put him into an arm lock or throw him over her shoulder.

And if he dodged instead, which would be her personal choice, Mystique would advance the attack more so.]

<sub>[ Kirk was naturally someone who tended to react in fights like this. He could take action first when he had to, but mostly his training involved being defensive rather than outright assaulting. He saw her attach coming, pivoting to put himself at the further end of the range of the swing even as he reached up to block. He followed it with a quick shuffle step in, thrusting out with his elbow, aimed at her face.

If she was going for the throat right off, well, he wasn't going to hold back either. ]</sub>

[And dodging it was, Mystique correcting her footing to prevent her from overreaching her strike as he moved away from her. Letting his block stop her, she caught a glance of the motion of the elbow early on in it's movement, allow her body to just drop to the ground so it went over her head. From down there she swung her leg around, aiming to sweep his out from under him.]

_{[ Despite his efforts, her leg caught one of his feet. He didn't fight the fall or wave his arms around like a fool. Rather he let himself go down as well, but instead of the move Mystique had pulled off he thrust himself into a backwards somersault of sorts. He righted himself and got distance between them in one motion, reassuming his position from the start of the fight only a few seconds ago. He grinned at Mystique and twitched his head in the gesture for 'bring it' without sacrificing the position of his hands. ]}

[Allowing her momentum to continue through the kick and roll her body weight over her shoulder, Mystique crouched low to the ground on all fours as she snapped her head around to find him. As he moved to stand back up in his starting position she did the same, taking a moment to brush down her outfit as once again she eyed up his stance.] Not bad. [Ah, flexible and cocky, both something to watch out for.]

Why thank you. My instructors would be pleased to hear it. Possibly my doctor too.

_{[ Words said, he does several little quick steps in and begins an assault - sharp jabs and controlled swings, making sure to turn and angle his body as he did so to present the least amount of target points. He was no amateur to simply leave himself open. For now he doesn't bring in leg moves - still warming up, you know. ]}
