"Now, you're gettin' into the spirit of it."

Pruna, the real Pruna, was a trained assassin. A young one, sure, and training counted for about as much in young assassins as it did in young humans, but it was still reflected in her pixelated counterpart. The computer generated version was fast, twitchy, and did best in the short-range.

Shepard's choice had been arbitrary, based entirely on the fact that she was a bitch and wanted to catch her opponent off-guard before they ever began. Clementine was cute, and she was Nick's friend, but she wasn't fast, and her attacks didn't have much oomph behind them. But Shepard knew the timing, and she had figured out at least one important combo.

See, that was a mistake so many people made; Clementine was a cute kid, with those big doe-eyes and that curly mop. Shepard deftly dodged over Nick's rush; it wouldn't keep him off for long, but her fingers were already moving through a sequence that had the onscreen version of her kid twitching erratically.

Combo moves were why god had invented fighting games, in Jane's opinion. And Clementine's had range-- even if it was just a pistol. Fuck your assassin bullshit.
