My post is a less of "What is Blithe doing" so much as "what Blithe is intending to do and why we're in the situation we're in". 

The first paragraph explains in none too simple terms, I'll admit: In your post, you covered a fair distance of ground, moving from fully to my front, to my side, while maintaining distance. Thus, Blithe would have had time to start doing her follow up move that she stating she was doing previously, moving to a more neutral stance, with her right side more even with her left.

The second paragraph is me saying, if your character strikes as you intended, it's probably going to result in Blithe stabbing you. Because in my previous post, I stated she was going to rotate her right side (and thus, her sword) forward. You approached Blithe on her right side, meaning, although your strike will get around Blithe's shield, you've also moved directly into the path Blithe was going to swordify. We've gotten into a situation where we will likely both hit each other unless one of us backs down.

Thus, I asked the question in my second paragraph of "Now that we've clarified these things, are you sure you want to do that? Anything you'd like to tweak first?"
