Penelope smirked a little as his blade met her’s again. For someone who usually looked for a way to escape a fight, she thought he was doing rather well. Though she could still tell his biggest weakness was how he had the tendency to over think his next move. Her expression became more serious as she realized the position she was in. 

Unable to get out of it in time, the knight had to twist her torso in order to block his attack. She flinched slightly as their blades scrapped against each other as she put a bit more of her strength to knock his blade away from her. [i]He’s getting faster..[/i] She thought to herself. Realizing she was still off balanced by his attack, she began to look for a way to put some distance between them in order to get her proper footing back. 

The knight attempted to jump back from him slightly and begin to turn herself out of the position she was in. Penelope swiped her dagger upward towards him. She hoped the movement would buy her enough time to twist out of the position she had been forced into.
