[SHE DID AND WEI WUXIAN STILL HATES HAVING TO TEACH HER. But he'll nod and change their angle again so Flayn is looking at herself in the mirror, and Wei Wuxian's back is facing it. He steps out of the way enough to show a palm strike from up under the nose.]
This is a good one, but it needs a bit of power. Just hit below the nose at an upward and inward angle with the heel of your palm, here - like that. It pushes the nose back through the skull and can pierce the brain.
[SO THAT'S FUN.]
Going through the eye socket is another way. You need less strength, but it's messy and painful, and unless you get through it with something long enough, you're more likely to blind and incapacitate than kill.
[Wow, Flayn looks vaguely ill just thinking about the nose pushing through the brain! But she watches his hand, and raises hers to try and angle her palm in the same way.]
Yes, but that's a good rule of thumb for anything I've taught you. It's unfortunate, but in the heat of the moment, your opponent won't be hesitating either.
[Since they either do not want to die in a very desperate way, or have already decided to target her. Bad any way it's sliced!]
[YOU SURE DON'T. He laughs, but it's a wry sound.]
I'd rather you not, either. ...Anyway - those are the most basic of moves if you're looking for things that don't take too much strength and won't be too messy or painful.
Of course! There are already enough unfair advantages in places you wouldn't expect. The very least I can do is ensure everyone has a fighting chance, you know?
[TERRIBLE. Wei Wuxian hates this because he never feels worthy of kind words!! There's a second where his smile is briefly tight, but it's there and gone in a flash.]
Hah - a strange thing to say to someone who just taught you how to snap a neck, you know! But if I can help even a little bit, even if it's in this way, then I'll be glad for it.
You have just taught me to defend myself. [She says it gently, and she's watching his face carefully. Yikes.] I sincerely appreciate it - even if I hope I will never have to make use of what you taught me.
[Sometimes you don't have a lot of self-worth, it's fine. His smile softens a little, at that. EVEN IF ALL HE CAN DO IS TEACH NECK-SNAPPIN' at least... that is something.]
Mm, I'll hope for the same. Anyway - let's head back, then, shall we?

[A nod! G...good murder work there, Flayn.]
If you can get it with a quick jab, all the better. The faster you move, the less you have to worry about raw power.

[She mumbles to herself, but nods.]
Thank you - for teaching me.
[Honestly I hope she gets to be an executioner one of these days so she can show off the murder skills WWX just taught her.]

Ah - yes. [They can now abandon the site of their murder lessons.] Thank you, again.
