Elani is... very graceful. She flows through the forms like a dance which is both beautiful and impractical-- but Lance can see the basics in the set and understands why Alexander taught her this. It fits her. And anything that comes naturally will ultimately be more effective.
If she ever uses it.
When the set begins to repeat, Lance steps in. He doesn't know if the King ever actually had Elani land any of the forms as a strike or not; there is certainly something to be said about setting the muscle memory down first. She has it now, that much is obvious, which means what Lance is about to do shouldn't change anything at all.
He steps into the flow of her forms; his motions are not a precise set to hers but they match well enough: each time Elani sweeps an arm, he blocks it with his own. Every time her fist comes forward his palm is there. He never holds her or gets in her way but there will be a subtle and distinct difference between moving through the forms and moving into them. He's forcing her body to compensate. To push.
