Serpentis lv 2 question

[Blake Sterling Jr.]

What die pool does Tongue of the Asp use?

I would assume Dex+Brawl, however I could also see Dex+Athletics.

Thanks,

Cut from the Core V20 book:
Power:

•• The Tongue of the Asp
The vampire may lengthen her tongue at will, splitting
it into a fork like that of a serpent. The tongue
may reach 18 inches or half a meter, and makes a terrifyingly
effective weapon in close combat.

Abilities in question:

Brawl
The Brawl Talent represents how well you fight in tooth-and-nail situations. This Talent represents skill in unarmed combat, whether from formal martial arts training or simply from plenty of experience. Effective brawlers are coordinated, resistant to pain, quick, strong, and mean. The willingness to do whatever it takes to hurt your opponent wins plenty of fights.

VS

Athletics
This Talent represents your basic athletic ability, as well as any training you might have had in sports or other rigorous activities. Athletics concerns all forms of running, jumping, throwing, swimming, sports, and the like. However, Athletics doesn’t cover basic motor actions such as lifting weights, nor does it govern athletic feats covered by another Ability (such as Melee).

And under Combat (page 271)

Types of Combat
There are two types of combat, each involving the same basic system with minor differences:
• Close Combat: This covers unarmed combat (Dexterity + Brawl) and melee (Dexterity + Melee). Unarmed combat can involve a down-and-dirty bar brawl or an honorable test of skill. Opponents must be within touching distance (one yard/meter) to engage in unarmed combat. Melee involves handheld weapons, from broken bottles to swords. Opponents must be within two yards/meters of each other to engage in melee.

This is pretty clearly a Brawl related roll.
