Fleuri had expected the attack to be blocked.  He did not, however, expect the sword to come out wielded by a literal phantom limb.  Nor did he expect to hear the sound of masonry behind him being struck when the sword came out.  It was quite an extraordinary sight, seeing this amputee wielding a weapon with a nonexistent arm.  Fleuri had never even heard of such a technique before.

At least his sword was still in one piece, although he still had a strong feeling that this swordswoman was toying with him.

"You know, we have curved swords here in Thaln," Fleuri spoke, readying himself in a two-handed stance.  "I wonder how well your techniques would work with one."  Instead of attacking, he put himself into a defensive stance- he wasn't sure if he even could block or parry her strikes, but he wanted to try.

[i]Her weapon does not have much of a crossguard.  I wonder if she has any familiarity with how one can be utilized in battle...[/i]
