That's good, little miss sneak here can play along. Samus isn't entirely sure what Rosethorn's plan is, but improvisation is something she's come to be good at out of necessity.

The leader's comment just makes Samus' smirk widen, and there's an audible crack from her knuckles as she squeezes one fist, then the other. "Well, yeah - it'd be pretty dumb to just show our entire hand up front," Samus answers, taking a few steps forward as well - and stopping once plants spring up. Neat trick - and Samus doesn't give them time to fail on their leader, jumping forward and putting a heavy punch right under his ribs, with a fair bit more strength than one might expect from her appearance.

That's the great thing about the coat - it helps her hide her build for situations like this.
