His solution to the second attack was as simple as his solution to the first, and he dropped his head beneath her blow, bending at both knee and back as he twisted his own body to the left and gripped the "hilt" of his blade with two hands. As her fist sailed above him, he pulled the blade down and left, aiming to bisect her abdomen from the original stab wound to her right hip and pull the sword clear of her body. He would then pivot his body back to the right, circumstances permitting, and angle a second slash through her legs at the knees. If her position and momentum held true for the fraction of a second it would take to execute both maneuvers, the portion of his blade nearest the handle would strike her right leg, while her left would be struck only inches from the tip.
