Tomoe easily saw the knife coming; she had dealt with countless knives in her training, and deflected the weapon with ease using her guard naginata. However, what she did not expect was the purported client being used as heavy artillery and thrust upon her with enough force to cause her to buckle and crumple to the ground. Tomoe yelled out, a sharp pain shooting up her left leg. [i]Damn it![/i] she thought, for King Azure surely was not any better off than she; she did her best to stand upright, but buckled a bit, for although she could shield herself from any bad damage to her bones, the blow had caused her to fall the wrong way and thus sprain her leg.

Despite this, she ignored the pain, though she was standing with a visible limp. Hopefully a healer could get to her in time, but she had to defend the king at all costs. She assumed a defensive stance, and stared down the warrior.
