[ fortunately for quill, now that gamora has made her point (or most of it, at least), she won't go too far out of her way to knock him down without giving him a chance to learn from the experience. this sort of training comes with incremental improvement, not immediate, so she knows that the intensity will have to vary based on his progress.
however, that doesn't mean he won't end up flat on his back repeatedly, anyway.
she just raises an eyebrow at him as if to say, "i really have no idea what a speedy gonzalez is," but then she's sliding into her own stance. ]
I won't maim you, if that's a comfort.
[ the reality is that getting thrown around is going to hurt, but she won't leave him with anything worse than a few bumps and bruises.
it's the last bit of warning he'll get before she quickly closes the space between them on the mats, swinging out with her forearm, aimed right for his head. ]
