[Shikamaru watches with some interest. He hasn't forgotten their discussion after their last fight ended, and despite what she said then... well. Sometimes it's easier to say things than do them.
Something obviously still scares her about it. She knew what was coming when they agreed to the terms of this spar. Two minutes of immobilization - unless one of them surrenders. She wouldn't have thrown in that condition if she still wasn't uncomfortable with it.
So he was fully expecting for her to give up. She's surprised him though, and he watches her expressions carefully now.]
I can let you look, if you want.
[He doesn't need to feel that through his shadow - can't, because the hold is strong enough right now that it offers no resistance even if she was trying to make one - to guess that would be something she'd want to do.]
