"Abilities?" Laura glared even as she relaxed against Carmilla. "The only thing I did that I haven't been able to do longer than I've known Carmilla is escape her ties. The rest is simply intermediate Krav Maga, and I've been practicing that since I was eight. Without any breaks or dislocations and not in a McDojo. Ell, I guess, as that much older learned Taekwondo instead?" She was rewarded with a minor nod from Mircala. "Not a bad choice, and if Ell wants to kick Kirsch in the head she's going to be better at it than I am, but Krav Maga was literally designed for battlefield conditions and I used a rifle disar. The rest of it is just leverage and that strong as you are the top joint of your finger isn't stronger than my bicep. And that you're no heavier than I am so you aren't harder to knock down if you're not expecting it."

She smiled, her posture changing, and gaining a little confidence. "If you'd like, Mircala, I can show you exactly what happened in slow motion. With either you or Carmilla as the demonstration model. And all human techniques. Other than escaping from Carmilla tying me up of course?"
