Annnnd civil discussion didn't work. What did she expect? Tomoe was on a battlefield trying (and undoubtedly failing) to calm down a bunch of angry soldiers stabbing an out-of-control manakete.

But when the bloodied Hero approached, eyeing her like a hunter would a deer, she knew she was quite in trouble. She had the weapon length to keep her distance from this warrior, and she was quite well-versed in defense techniques, but men with swords placed a lot of offensive pressure.

That being said, she did not want to harm this man over something as misfortunate as a misunderstanding. She would have to drive this powerful warrior away from Nyx.

Tomoe assumed a long-distance defensive stance, maximizing the amount of naginata she had before her while still maintaining control over her weapon. She did not intend to give the Hero she was dueling the luxury of having her distracted by making futile attempts at reason. Instead, she prepared to fend off the swordsman, twisting her weapon and attempting to force him into an awkward position that would buy the others time to help Nyx without having to deal with Tomoe's opponent.
