With a gun or my metalbending? Of course. But hand to hand will always be Vi's specialty. [She's adapted to Toph's name for her power. Given Toph's been the one that's taught her control over the last several months, it only seems fitting to call it what her teacher does, especially when she mimics those techniques.

She knows Jim and Spock got a first hand look at Vi's fighting style, too, so he knows exactly what she means. And there was a good chance Vi was holding back, compared to when she beat the living shit out of Sevika back home.

She's proud when she hits her mark, and even after she's pulled back, she's quick to grab his arm to make sure he doesn't fall over and stays steady. There's worry in her voice, but also amusement, that she was successful in her maneuver.]

Sorry! Sorry-- I wasn't sure where to aim that wouldn't hurt. [Still! She did it! Just as he had taught!]

That wasn't close combat? [This is extremely close to her, considering she's used to long range.]
