IC: Alexandra tried to block Adrian when the flash came, covering her eyes with her off hand.

Was the blade up, down... She made an educated guess and parried, rewarded with the clang of bronze on iron, trying to shake off the flash and hopping back to avoid the rest of the force. Using Runeweaver one handed meant there was no way she could resist a strike from the son of Ares for more than a few instants.

IC: "You IDIOT," Tabitha yelled at Albert, her eyes protected by her abilities. 

"You're going to get someone killed! They're fighting with the assurance that the other can prevent death, but what you're doing will mean someone isn't going to be able to block or dodge."
