[b]Cinder Fall, Museum, Client World [???][/b]

Cinder watched with some annoyance as another man arrived to support Blake, with one of the stranger weapons that she had ever seen. Still, it would not be enough to stop her, even with her current wounds. He obviously had no idea who he was dealing with as she shifted her swords into a combat stance and began to circle Blake in the meanwhile.

The sounds of battle continued behind her, but that was none of her concern. She was focused on the fight ahead, with a familiar, if altered, foe. If Kiba couldn't handle himself then he deserved what he got. No more, no less. For now, she was going to get rid of a nuisance. 

"Yes, stay out of this," she added as Blake told the man to let her take the lead. It was a personal fight, and she would not bode interference. In turn, she flicked with her blades and the Beowolves responded, charging forward much like they had against Sindibad, past Blake, to attack the new arrival. That should keep him occupied and let the two fight in peace. 

The shadow clone trick was one she had seen before, but telling the difference always proved to be annoyingly elusive. So she reacted to both, blades raised for blocks on both sides of her until the fake vanished, while she ducked at the same time. This would be followed with an upwards kick aimed at the real Blake's arm, to try and remove one of her weapons from the current contest. It was weaker than it would have been otherwise, since she had...persisting issues, to deal with. 

Still, it was a start, and she was already looking forward to this.
