Elsa needed to buy time, any kind of time. "Narcissus answer me this question if you do not mind: how does a hunter become proficient in wielding a sword? I must admit I'm not used to one. So, how about this instead: we have a bit of a competition of whose the best shot. I want to try my hand at defeating you in this." She said quickly not wanting him to swing that blade again, not certain if she'd make it out alive if he did. She was fast on her feet, don't get me wrong, it's just that even she could guess that she had very little time before he grew bored and ended the game he seemed to be playing with her. So if she could buy time even with this, she'd do it. She just hoped that he was as self-centered as she had heard from her parents who heard it from a traveler from a land that no one knew. And that had been when her mother had been a little girl.
