[her offense has always been stronger than her defense, and she steps back, giving him that space and time to react. but she still doesn't stop, this time aiming high.

never towards his face, though. she'd never do that to him. and if she has to pull back at the last second then she will. but for now, she trusts him to react in time. to parry what's more or less her frustrations gotten out in the open. but that same frustration can be her weakness - her undoing, in being too hasty.]

[He can parry it, or he can dodge away, scooting back just enough so that the pipe barely misses a shoulder. He opts for the latter, and the pipe whiffs right past him.

Despite himself, he has to grin. Neither of them are in a particularly humorous mood, what with the tension of everything that's happened recently coiled up within them, but he finds he can't help himself from making a remark. Maybe it's just in his nature, though he'd never be snide with Grell. Only teasing, however keen this teasing happens to be today.]

So eager!

[But honestly, that eagerness can lead to recklessness, which is something he should be... concerned about, but right now, he's not supposed to hold back. He's supposed to take advantage of it, isn't he?

Ardyn prods with his words a bit more, perhaps trying to get her to move again and leave herself open.]

Next time you may actually hit me, dearest one.

I intend to!

[provocations work enough to get her to step forward, and he has the advantage in weapon length. still, if she can step under his guard, there might be the chance, yet there's still an opening on her side. if he swings before she can kick out and try to take away one of his legs, then he'll have the upper hand.]

[daemonized]

[The provocation works, something that he once again notes that he should talk to her about later, in case in a more serious situation someone decides to take advantage of her very enthusiastic way of fighting.

But for now, that someone will be him. He moves as quickly as he can, attempting to swing his blade at that opening. He's timed it just right so that he swings before she meets his leg with her heel, and while the healer part of him hopes that she manages to dodge, the part that promised not hold back (or hold back just enough) dictates his movements.]
