Twitch

Maybe you're telegraphing your movements too much. You rush in with the sword in front of you, which Zafra evades. At the last second, you twitch Jehuty's arm in her direction hoping for a quick little cut. But Zafra is a step ahead and knocks the blade down by hitting it's broad side. Jehuty is pulled down some by the force, which Zafra takes some advantage of by knocking Jehuty on the head a bit.

"Come on, Mr. EU Hopeful.," she taunts. "I'm waiting."

You bring Jehuty's blade up as fast as you can, hoping to catch her too wrapped up in mocking you to dodge it. You don't. She dashes to the left and again konks Jehuty.

"Dammit," you say through your teeth.
