[When Reiju fights her brothers - any of them except Sanji - her goal is to outlast their animalistic tendencies that turn their prey into bloodstains. She waits until they're bored or Father calls off the fight, and then smiles at their insistences that they won, not her.
There's none of that in her today. After she strikes him in the back (two for two), she's already waiting for Jae-Ha to retaliate, and she desperately, desperately wants to win.
But he's too fast. She won't hit him before he hits her.
So she'll settle on a lesson. Pay attention, Jae-Ha, because you'll be learning that Reiju is much like Sanji in that she won't accept defeat unless it's on her own terms. His leg connects with her fist instead of her side, the girl having the nerve to block a kick with a punch. No matter that the added force of Jae-Ha's attack means the pain shoots all the way to her shoulder, it won't dislodge the triumphant smile that she greets him with.
And then she stands straight and proper, the fight completely disappearing from her. The girl's voice sounds bored as she places her hands behind her back]
A tie.
[She begins to walk away, calling out one more time before her shoulder]
That was fun, peasant. We should do it again sometime.
