Myri nodded, then took on her best defensive stance. She looked nervous, but after a deep breath and her best attempt at swallowing her anxiety, she raised her fists as she had seen Buffy and the others do. She took a few slow steps forward and moved her gaze to Buffy's eyes with one last silent question of 'really?' before throwing a punch for Buffy's left shoulder. Despite the reassurance, she can't bring herself to punch her friend in the face...

(ooc: For your own knowledge, Myri's strength score on her character sheet is a 10, which means she gets no bonuses and no penalties. She is profoundly average in her strength. But being completely untrained in fighting, that might be giving her more credit than she's due.)
