Kelly The Bandit Despite the point which had struck her. She still was unwilling to give up. He regretted not thrusting, he had her dead to rights, but apparently simple "contact" was not enough. The rules were a bit confusing. It was admirable that she understood her situation. She would try her best. Immaterial factors conspired against her now, she was not just fighting him but something more now. Could she feel it? He was not using magic. It was something all fighters possessed. A certain "presence". He knew she felt that presence, or she would not have risked such a move. She knew, and yet she still moved without hesitating; displaying her valor. Displaying an ability to not give in.
He knew her options, and she chose perhaps the best possible one. But even so, her movement would prove risky to say the least and she knew it, it was one last gamble it seemed. He matched her intensity though his presence was "colder" than her own. Not as passionate. This fight meant something different for him. He saw her intent but his blade had been left in a deliberate position to maximize its "freedom". He made no mistake though. Kelly was dangerous .
As fast as her bodies movement was, his blades would prove faster still, as the movement of a blade was simpler and generally quicker. and his weapon was positioned to do just about any maneuver. His left wrist tilted to align his edge towards the blade angling towards the ground at a slant, suddenly leaving it in her path as she closed in. His blade itself shifted out to his left side as it seamlessly continued its dropping motion only to rise suddenly into an ascending diagonal cut at her inner left thigh. This would happen as his right leg slid forward suddenly with his previous momentum, and his left-boot kicked off the ground suddenly passing her left flank even as she sought to flank his own left.
He leaned to his right in the motion to gain a bit more distance from her, as his arm dropped which would incidentally allow the limb to evade her grappling attempt if it still came, but the reach of his blade would ensure the strike would hit before she reached him, with her essentially moving into it. He would also be moving past the opposite side of her knife-hand as well, and gaining distance from it during the pass while making an attempt to hit awkward. Using her attempt to flank to pass her in turn and hopefully score a 2nd contact. It was essential to know that her speed did in fact matter, he simply used it to his advantage by moving opposite and letting the direction of her movement do the rest of the work for him, while attacking from an advantageous position.
It was ideally one of those "classic-finishes" that one might have heard of, two sword-fighters charging, and passing each other, and in this case one cutting the other during the pass while evading reprisal. His movement carrying him a bit past her forsaken rapier, where he promptly turned his head to look at his left shoulder almost behind him, his body turning slightly to adjust back into a narrow left-leading stance. Daring her to try and reclaim her weapon. His left blade promptly pointing forward and extending to full length along his outstretched arm. His right weapon reared back. His knees bent as he took that "fencing" stance once again. He was confident his counter would strike-true but even if it didnt, he was not going to let her regain her
