Heron Lake Plateau punch drunk

Giving her space served to undermine his own efforts, but he was fine with that. The spar became more of a game of dodges; she was impressively quick and Ambrose had to adapt to her attacks on the fly, which at first was tiring. When he caught on to what she was aiming for (tiring him out rather than hit him hard) he became more reserved with his parries.

Instead of trying to defend himself against the flurry of her movements he showed signs of fatigue. He purposefully began to return weaker snaps and slower counters, biding his time until Fire did something drastic. His goal was to bait her close again and then, if it worked, he'd begin to crowd her all over. She wanted to tire him out with her speed, but he would turn that back on her, let her tire herself out instead — and then try to bowl her over.
