Torie impacted with the ground with the series of barriers crackling and shattering beneath him. Pulling his foot from the pile of rubble now under it, he flicked his wrist and the shattered remains of his barriers disappeared, though his shield remained on his arm. Tilting his head slightly at the woman, he asked: [b]Well now...what's a pretty lady like you doing getting involved with guys like these?"[/b] He adjusted his gloves, tightening them on his hands. [b]"...Doesn't matter though"[/b] Snapping his fingers once, he erected several barriers around his snapping arm, forming a long, 4 ft. polygonal blade. 

Pointing the blade at her, he said: [b]"So...what's your name ma'am?"[/b] With his free hand, he adjusted the visor of his helmets to see the lady, even as he tilted his head down slightly. Theatrics were everything in a confrontation like this...that and he figured this'd give him enough time for a snappy one-liner to use at the end of this.
