The suddenness of her opponent's action managed to take Rosalie by surprise. One second she was slowly walking around the couch, and the next, she was temporarily blind. To make matters worse, her gear could only do so much. Rosalie's instinctual reaction was to look away and shut her eyes for a moment, and despite the fact that her visor self-adjusted by automatically dimming the screen, it was a bit too late. With her gun still aimed more or less towards the same spot, Rosalie pulled the trigger only a couple of times before she was knocked on her back. In the midst of such chaos, Rosalie's gun slipped out of her hand. She audible cursed, immediately reaching for her retractable staff to hopefully dig the blade into her opponent's neck.
