With Cereza's heal, Marrie was back to seeing with both eyes. Which was great, because a melee fighter without depth perception is equivalent to a suicidal lemming. She wanted to give a non-verbal appreciation, but her hands were occupied.

Since Sofron didn't seem to take the bait, and his goons were starting to surround her, she already knew what her next Melody would be. The tungsten rod began to show the telltale signs of magic as she cast on it.

{Gold Touch - Blink - Delay(4)}

With the Melody cast, and Sofron looking right at her (or as much as he could with foot-soldiers in the way) she brought the rod out and chucked it as directly at his head as she could. It didn't matter if it hit him, or one of the "workers," or missed entirely. With four seconds of delay, and one additional second after, she could decide if she wanted to Blink or fake him out based on his reaction. And if she hit him in the head with it? Bonus. Still though, it [i]was[/i] a little concerning that he could still breathe with a neck wound, but that only made her sort-of taunting/sort-of genuine remark a moment ago more applicable. 

As soon as the metal left her hand, Marrie started towards those nearest Sofron, trying to take advantage of Cereza's volley. They could get in the way, but that could be problem or an opportunity. She sped up to weave between them, cutting each one she passed as she tried to avoid their retaliation. [Devour Chance * ???] Sofron didn't seem like the type to avoid attacking through his minions, but she made sure to try to keep at least one in-between herself and him as she could while shortening the gap between them.

Her Instrument's chain was kept at just a few inches of slack, knowing that extending it could get it grabbed by someone, and that it being too short made it harder to retrieve if it were knocked from her hand. And when she made it within range of attacking Sofron? She'd slash at him, and decide to Blink if he fell for the feint, or take advantage of his attention being behind him if he didn't.
