Unless you came to get your ass handed to you, instead.
[ Frank and to the point. Casey had had to adjust to actually train Carolyn rather than just treat her as a near-equal sparring partner from the get go. He was still doing it now, letting her land blows where she should naturally land blows, teaching her little by little to train her muscle memory so that she could stop thinking about what she was doing and just use what she'd been taught to fight. That was how you got faster, it was how you got better. Practice.
Actually landing blows was part of that practice too. It was impossible to teach follow through if there wasn't a weight on the other end of the fist resisting the attack.
She goes pragmatically for his recently broken arm, and it's a good move, so Casey rewards it by giving her an opening, turning his arm away from her attacks to offer unbalanced feet and a soft stretch of midsection. ]
