[Oh, definitely, Taning is surprised, but since he's high, have a vaguely amused/constipated look instead.]
Taning knew he wasn't gonna reach that by reaching over on his wrong side; his arms just aren't long enough to reach across his own body. So what he does is he he pivots on his wrong foot, so that his back is against the table, and with the motion of the rotation, strokes at the ball with the goal of imparting massive topspin on it. There isn't enough of it, though; Brig's serve caught him off balance, and the ball still manages to bounce, albeit at a trajectory really low and almost parallel to the table.]
Not bad!
[OOC: Yes that was an attempted Tsubame Gaeshi. Haha.
