Boy, you never want to meet a friend like mine… || MDNI || 21+ mun ||

Too predictable. [It was a feint! Judith moves quicker than anticipated, spinning out of the way and tapping Hilda’s chest with her rapier.] I gave you twenty strikes. You at least wounded me, which is better than most. I am impressed, when you try, you try.

( if anything, Hilda speeds her movements up, she's actually trying now. seeing her slow down, finally this her chance! with het axe, she moves to strike the sword from her hand! )

[Several more steps, then Judith hisses as she’s forced to twist her body to evade one strike, the cut on her arm finally seeming to slow her. Now’s Hilda’s chance, surely this isn’t one of her famous feints, right? She said she wouldn’t attack…]

Urgh. ( a sigh. fine, fine, she will try.....she has no choice but to. ) You're lucky I look cute with my axe! ( she soon went to send some powerful swings her way )

Nope. I said disarm me, not try to. [It’s going to take a few swings to tire Judith out, even with her arm bleeding. She’s not known as the Hero of Daphnel for no reason, side stepping with alarming ease now that she’s seeing how Hilda fights.]

There, I tried. Can I leave now? ( can't wait a girl for trying! she got her arm, that's gotta count for something, right? Hilda goes to press the advantage, and goes to send another strike with her axe to her sword )

[Like a flash, the sword moves out of the path of the axe, though Judith’s arm gets nicked slightly. Huh. Not bad reflexes. Focusing on the target, since she had said disarming her was the goal.] Fighting smart is always a good first step. Most aim to tire me out first, and tire first instead.

( she sees the sidestep and Hilda looks and sees an opening finally. her gaze goes to the rapier, and moves her axe quickly to strike the sword )

[Judith clearly doesn’t buy it. She’s seen Hilda on the field.] Nice try, but I know about you. I know Holst would never let you fight when you say you’re feeling faint, but Holst isn’t here and the battlefield isn’t so kind. Pick up your axe.

( placing the back of her hand on her forhead, rather dramatically, trying to feign illness at the mere thought of training ) Oh no! I feel suddenly so light headed.
