Tyaethe moved forwards further even as Garret's attack was deflected, nearly getting hit by the rebound as she did so. It was clear that the knight still wasn't displaying much forethought beyond whatever skills she had honed into instincts over the years. That was enough to give her a solid idea of how to continue. Even an animal knew to go after the weak point to bring down their prey, whether that was targeting the weak link in a group or an existing injury.

But Tyaethe didn't want him to have a chance to keep backing away until he could find a position to launch a counterattack or escape. She wanted him brought down [i]now[/i] for daring to touch the captain. Any desire to keep herself safe was long since eroded and she took the very real risk of getting cut to move even closer before swinging at his injured arm: he could back off and still be in range, block it poorly and still be hit, or drop down and be on the ground where he could be finished.

Though he could attack, she felt like it wouldn't be an issue. What sort of injured foe could actually deal an injury that was inconvenient, let alone problematic?
