The reminder of her position pulled her free from her sudden drunken stupor, her lips retreating back to the thin line they normally form. That's right. She's a Captain, and, despite her tendencies or the rumors around her, in situations like these, losing her cool would only bring about complications. There are people around them that could easily get caught up in this fight if she doesn't watch her strength.

Though, her brow twitched as feet stepped before her. Approached by her opponent, she braced herself for the punch to her chest, letting her right foot slide along the ground during the impact. She was not knocked over by the attack, turning her right foot horizontal as her upper half tilted, catching her momentum. At the same time, her right arm came back, her fingers tightened in a fist. Where is Lerna? Is she still in front of Elyss?

Her answer came as she felt a foot crash into her shoulder. The ground cracked underneath the pressure, but all Elyss needed was a something to point her fist in the right direction. Her left hand shot up, clasping atop the Lerna's ankle. A relieved breath from Elyss appreciative of Lerna's skill. However, she jerked forward, her right arm snapping straight as Elyss jabbed straight at Lerna's chest, using the woman's leg as a guide. Obviously, her punch is only outputting enough power that Lerna threw at her, keeping her true strength restrained. It is but a spar, after all.

A grin flashed across her lips as she watched Elyss tank that first punch straight to her chest, enjoying the look on the woman's face as at long last, her heel crashed down onto the woman's shoulder, two solid hits which promptly won her the vacation. Though frankly she didn't know what sh was gonna use it for. She had schoolwork after all, she didn't know how to feel about a whole Weeks worth of vacation and fitting that with classes. But hey, it was the thought that counted right.

But what happened next caused her brows to raise. That hand suddenly clamping onto her ankle caused Lerna's brows to Raise. And then, in a sudden vicious succession, Elyss's fist promptly shot out and connected with Lerna's chest! Her own eyes going a bit wide as that fist sunk against Lerna's chest, and caused her to tense up!

Before a grin flashed across her lips. "Ow." the woman growled. Promptly grabbing Elyyy's wrist and swinging her other leg up! Using Elyss's grip on her other ankle as leverage to snap her other foot to the back of the woman's head, and promptly clinch them together and pull. Tugging on Elyss's wrist in the process as she aimed to wrap both legs around the woman's head and promptly pump spirit energy into her legs to clamp down with as much force as she could.

Of course most would usually expect Lerna to try to pull away, and so instead Lerna doubled down on the grapple between her and the Captain. Going for a sudden move that would, hopefully, outpace the woman's ability to react while she was still shitfaced. If all went according to plan? Lerna's legs would be wrapped around Elyss's neck and shoulder, clamping around the woman's neck and head while both of her hands worked on locking the woman's wrist in place. After all, there really was NO way she would ever beat the Captain by simply exchanging blows.

But choking the woman out? That didn't require anything but enough pressure on the woman's neck to close off the airway. As Durable as Elyss was, she still needed to breathe after all. Not that she expected it to GO that far. This was a spar, and so reasonably speaking , Elyss would tap out far before she actually lost consciousness. In the meantime? Lerna put ALL of her strength and focus into the grapple, as the rest of the squad looked on with a mixture of awe, surprise, and possibly a sprinkling of envy.

She found purchase, her knuckles crashing into her target. The only problem: her target's fighting back. Elyss didn't throw her strongest punch, but she didn't expect Lerna to continue her offensive afterwards. Guess the blonde's a little like her Captain, but that's beside the point right now. Elyss can feel Lerna's legs wrapping around her neck, recognizing the intended submission technique. Escape would require her to be a bit rougher, but for now, she allowed herself to be captured, her body falling to its knees.

The hold's solid. Lerna knows a thing or two. Elyss doesn't feel exactly pressured though. Even as her throat is forced to close, the redhead kept her cool and thought of ways to break free. Despite the number of ideas that made themselves known, Elyss could only sigh and press her feet into the ground, confirming her feet placement. Struggling, her arm tightened, muscles flexing, veins showing. Displaying her strength, Elyss rose up, taking Lerna with her, grabbing hold of the woman's thigh with her hand, fingers digging in before the redhead dropped. A modified powerbomb should remind the woman that she's not just fighting some grunt, and that Elyss isn't a threat that you can just grab a hold to and expect to not get harmed, and if the woman didn't want to let go, Elyss is already moving to rise and drop her again.
