Just ignore him and meme as usual. Also let’s leave off the area banner to make more room for our post.

He still wasn’t taking her seriously, but that would be to his detriment in the end. Mika was far more interested in saying what she needed to say with her blades than with her mouth. That’s how they did it in Pax Septimus. Her brow became more crossed as the seconds ticked by.

Every fighter knew they were at their most dangerous when they were attacking, but at their most vulnerable when they attacked. If an attack didn’t land, it was often an opening that a fighter could exploit. The blond had understood this, anticipated the attack, and side stepped. This was something that Mika fully expected to happen. That, or for him to attempt to attack her with something while she approached. But that was why she had opted to go for a stab. Since she was holding both of her blades in a reverse grip, this put him nearly in arms reach of her. That, and such a simple stab didn’t leave her at that much of a disadvantage if she missed. In fact, it left her with quite a few options. As she started to pull back her arm, she watched the man’s shoulders and hips for a tell. Was he going to throw a punch, or a kick? Or maybe he was going to cast a melody? His shoulders bobbed as he brought his back foot forward. His hip over his leading leg was starting to rise. A lunging front kick. Not what she would have chosen to do, but it wasn’t a bad move.

Against a different opponent.

But there seemed to be an error in causality. It wasn’t clear before, but Mika had stabbed with her left (leading) arm. When the blond man evaded, which way did he sidestep?

[hider=He sidestepped to her right and kicked towards her inside]

As her left arm came back, she repositioned her rear (right) leg and swiped her dagger in front of herself. Kicks could pop off pretty fast, but with her opponent so close, it was not difficult to brush his knee to the side when he went to kick her. If he chose to kick, it would miss the mark completely. With his attack deflected, it was her turn to attack again.

[color=tomato]"No god has ever helped me."[/color] She stepped forward with her right leg, and drove her right fist towards his chest. [color=tomato]"Maybe you want to pray to yours?"[/color]

[hider=He sidestepped to her left and kicked towards her outside]

As her left arm came back, so did her left leg. Kicks could pop off pretty fast, but with her opponent so close, it was not difficult to brush his knee to the side when he went to kick her. If he chose to kick, it would miss the mark completely. With his attack deflected, it was her turn to attack again.
