Chara shoots him another glance, and they reverse their grip on the knife. The dummy's not exposing anything Eggsy just mentioned, but Chara has things to prove, and a little thing like that's not going to stop them. They feint at the dummy's face, then swoop down to nick it just over one knee. The red line glows back at them when the dummy steps back, and Chara frowns at it. It's not enough.

There's been a practiced crudeness to their motions the whole way, hinting at enormous experience with no guidance. It's especially obvious now, when they dive past the dummy's right side and come out poised to slice at the back of its legs, but not to escape quickly. They compensate by scrambling before the swipe is even done, but it screams of wasted energy. The dummy turns and steps back, and Chara's only just gotten their feet under themself. They spring up and slice at the dummy's hands. It simply holds them out of reach.
