[ there we go! jolyne looks excited the minute he starts running at her. she'll just barely dodge it, being grazed by the strike and feeling the intention behind it. it's exactly what she wants. ]
Alright!
[ she'll trade him a flurry of blows with her fists, jabs aimed for the chest, but definitely not impossible to block. she's not taking it easy on him, but she is gauging him, his strength, his moves. ]
[ She seems pumped up at least, and fortunately, the excitement's contagious! And boy Axel is glad that she isn't holding back, even if he's definitely not like from Street Fighter or something.
Anyways, he gets hit with some of those blows with a grunt, but the rest? He moves out of the way; he's decent enough at that, but the red head's not allowing some bruised area to hold him back.
Right away the red head's al-rea-dy moving to swing a feet towards one of Jolyne's, hoping to catch her off guard to maybe send her to the ground. ]
[ now i just wanna pull out my arcade stick and play sf :(
they definitely both seem to be willing to take hits, and the bruises that come with them. when he brings a foot up, she takes it with a grunt, using the momentum of being swept to the ground to roll back to her feet quickly, grass kicking up.
she uses the short distance to regroup, blowing a little hair out of her face with a huff and holding her arms up defensively, prepared to jab outwards, but also ready to take more blows if need be. for now, jolyne moves to circle a bit, appraising another move before darting in when there's a potential opening for an uppercut. ]
Axel's sort of appraising her as well, by which we mean that he's already moving after her when she's taking the short distance away. His plan's going to be to aim for a punch lower, towards one of her sides, though with her circling around, it's a bit difficult to go for an immediate straight shot.
He decides not to completely come all the way over, sliding around a bit himself, and making it appear that he's got a potential opening. Uppercuts are definitely something he wants to avoid, though despite him trying to set up a lure, he...well. Let's say that avoiding it completely almost happens, but not quite. Catching him more towards the right side of his chin than directly under, and making him stumble back, but right after he's swinging a kick directed towards Jolyne's left side. ]

[ But hey, he's about done doing his stretches over here, so... ]
We can go with just hands and feet. No need to make anything too complicated for our first sparring match, right?
no subject
[ as she finishes her stretching she'll give a bit of a test kick in the air. warming up is complete. ]
You do a lot of fighting back home?

You ready?

[ there's way too much to explore, and clearly some ass to kick, so~ ]
Whenever you are.
[ she adjusts her stance, solid and prepared and gives him a little wave with her hand. she looks very ready to go! ]
Come at me.

And Axel ain't the type to back down after a comment like that. The red head's coming straight at Jolyne.
He's close enough, so how about a punch aimed low, the attempted hit directed towards the lady's stomach. ]
