Fighting is something Carolina can do. And more important it's something she's been wanting to do since she first showed up on Barrayar. Finally having a chance to do what she's best at is nice so when a figure appears out of the snow and dark to throw a punch she snaps into action. She's not good with the rapier they gave her so she goes the old fashioned way and just fucking charges Daryl with a shout. The alarms are already going off, it isn't like that they can go off more.

His punch connects but her momentum carries her into him with her shoulder leading the charge toward his sternum.
