Fornax's expression changed several times while Orcus spoke and told her story. At first it was a small smile, amused by the fact that she would use something like that against an opponent that was an a*****e. Though he did not condone violence, it was still satisfying to know when the underdog won. But it didn't last as she admitted to enjoying it, and he even frowned a little when she said she wasn't that good of a person, crossing his arms in front of his chest as if thinking of a way to respond. In the end, he only nodded, letting his arms fall to the side as she showed him one move, planting one last thought into his head incase he needed it.
And it was almost terrifying to think about.
It seemed like something almost out of a movie, hearing her talk so easily about how to shove shattered bone and cartilage up into someone's brain to kill them. And maybe, just maybe, he would have to use this against someone. It wasn't unreasonable, given the kind of world they lived in these days... Maybe if he had known these moves back when he was kidnapped as a civilian he would have used them. There was no telling what he could have even done back then, but... Maybe it would have worked, maybe he would have killed someone to get himself and the others free.
No, he didn't want to think about it, so he took a deep breath and shook his head to clear the thought away.
"I understand, Orcus... Thank you for showing me... And I think..." He paused, looking down at her slightly trying to think of the best way to work out his words, and then smiled a small, gentle little smile. "You don't have to be nice to be good, and we all have our vices, I think... If you like causing extra hurt someone who deserves it, well... As long as they are assholes in the first place, maybe it's not wrong to treat them like one and give it a good pounding."

She had expected condemantion. Judgement. What she hadn't expected for for Fornax to calmly think about what she'd said and apparently be at peace with it. It was oddly refreshing.
Smiling a little, she reached out to gently pat his arm. He was being very good about the information she was shoving into his brain at any rate.
"Thank you, Fornax," she said simply. "And you're quite welcome. I hope it helps you protect yourself and the ones you care about."
For a moment, she looked as if she wanted to say more, but ultimately what would be the point. He had the knowledge now and she was pretty sure that if he needed to, he'd use it. And that was all she could, in fairness, ask. So instead, she smiled again and gave herself a little shake.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Fornax. Be good and stay safe."
It was all she felt right about saying under the circumstances. Waving her hand in a farewell, she turned and moved off into the night.
