Lorag's powerful blows did not outwardly appear to deter Narsi's movements beyond her head's yielding to his fist, but the pain was real and apparent where they landed. Narsi naturally swiped at where Lorag dodged to as if her speed would make up for her lack of skill. Lorag remained in full control, predicting Narsi's movements intuitively enough to convince her that he was reading her mind.

She remained furious. The lack of success only goaded her further. After a spin to face Lorag again, Narsi stepped up to swipe at his arms with the claws of her right hand. She followed up with a swipe from the left and planned to continue. She just wanted to land a strike at this point.
