Oh, I think you could give me a run for my credits. [ Jim's definitely not going to underestimate her. This is kind of fun! It's been a while since he's had a decent spar, even if that's not really what they're doing - yet. Just like chess, Jim has no doubt Caitlyn will prove formidable in no time.

As for a shooting match - sign him up. He's got some marksmanship training, but that's just with phasers and phaser rifles. Translating that to an actual gun - his aim will probably be decent, but he won't be at all prepared for the kickback.

Caitlyn executes the dodge flawlessly, throwing a punch from the open side Jim's left. He absorbs it with a turn of his shoulder, letting it smart against his chest - his feet are planted, so while it's strong enough to rock him on his feet, she also pulled it enough that he's not falling over. ]
Good! That was perfect.

Fair enough. She does know how to pack a punch. [ Jim would know, he'd been on the (rightful) receiving end. Spock had gotten it worse, though. Yes, he's still embarrassed about it, but he's trying to own it. ] I think you've got the distance basics down. Want to try some close combat?
