Fleuri instinctively moved to deflect the incoming strike.  However, with his foe's lightning speed, it wasn't entirely clear if he'd move fast enough to meet the attack in time, or how well the practice sword's wooden blade would stand up against his foe's foreign sword.

The knight felt the wind flowing over him as there was another sound behind him as the wind from his opponent's attack once again struck with considerable force, but this time it sounded like wood rather than stone that was struck.  Fleuri was still bewildered by the whole thing,  that someone could swing a weapon so fast that it turned the air itself into such a projectile of such power.  It really put things into perspective that this person's swordsmanship was so fast that it caused such considerable collateral damage [i]as an unintended side effect[/i].

Given how much noise the wind strikes made, it was no surprise to hear Tyaethe chime in to complain about the damage being done.

"Do you know her, by any chance?" Fleuri asked.  "I'm told she's an agent of Merilia."
