[NOT HARD ENOUGH now that's just an insult to his entire being tbh. But he doesn't have time to sulk about it before the puck is flying at him again--and this time, he really is ready for it!
Muscles tense and body coiled, like a tiger ready to pounce, he knocks it back in her direction. Between the last few strikes, he's managed to work out a good balance, and this time, it's a nice, clean hit! But she's already proven she's good at this game, so he's ready for her counter even before the puck reaches her.]
