Instead of fighting it, Valkyrie sent her momentum backwards with her foot still braced on the ground. Her palms caught the earth in one moment and the next the rubber soles of her toes were being brought right smack into Loki's jaw, and she landed smoothly back on her feet with her knees bent.
Hm. The Inn's clothing wasn't all bad.
Not musing on that for long, Valkyrie sprung back into action before Loki could regain his balance, sheathing her weapons and bringing her fist back for another solid punch to his cheek followed by a knee to his stomach that sent him straight back into the stiff bark of another pine. The shower of dried needles that followed was a charming sight.
"You're made of sturdy stuff." She dusted her hands. Fighting an Asgardian meant she didn't have to hold back much, though she certainly had here.
