They turn an ear towards him, but otherwise ignore his first question. 'Yes'. 'Almost yes'. They'll deal with it later.
'I know that', Chara wants to shout back, 'but it keeps not moving!' Too bad. Excuses are for quitters, and if Chara can't figure out how to take this crappy thing out then it's their own fault for losing. (Especially if it's just a mindless dummy. They can't be that pathetic.)
They grit their teeth and give his advice a shot anyway, and--yes, more of that untrained ability. They spring into the air to combine fantastic air-time with a cruddy kick, and the effect is that a blow that should've broken the dummy's neck only shoves it off balance. That's okay: while the dummy staggers they surge forward and swing the knife again. Red stretches from its ribs to hip, and the dummy flickers, then blinks out.
It's over. No blood or dust. No sense of accomplishment, either.
They round on Eggsy, eyes bright and focused. "That one sucked." It comes out like an accusation. "Give me one that actually attacks, next time! I'll do better." ... Where did his dummy--right, he killed it. (Vanished it.) They'd noticed in their peripheral vision.
