Natalie felt the Force push against her back, and tumbled forward. She'd been in this position before with her spar against Ezra. A tuck and roll later, she was on her feet with enough distance between them that another physical attack wouldn't be viable. Natalie turned to the Padawan, her right hand spinning the wooden saber leisurely. It wasn't a wind up to another strike, but rather just absent minded twirling. Sitting still wasn't exactly her forte.
"That was good!" Natalie said. "You know what you did wrong? I gave you my sword arm, but instead of disarming me you went for a body shot. Targets of opportunity will arise in a fight, and you're going to have to recognize them and take advantage of that. You did good with that Force push though." She let Zessel explain that he played games. That was good. She could liken real fights to those.
"Well in games you usually have to weigh in cost of actions, right?" Natalie began. "Every action has a consequence, and you as the player have to decide what consequences you're trading for your actions." Now it was time to tie it into the spar. "You had a prime target in front of you that could do critical damage, albeit I could still probably fight on. Instead you went for a one-shot and ended up taking more damage than you dealt. See the correlation?"
