She righted him and he would try again. Later, Fujiko strode backwards on the balance beam as Syd walked forward with arms waving trying to keep his b...lance. They fooled around at sparring and boxing, which Syd enjoyed. He would hook and swipe, she would duck under the swings and playfully tap him under the chin to show that she was more agile and quicker.
