try to distract her before going in for the kill

"Why, I didn't know such beautiful tapestries existed in all the Galaxy," you say, glassy eyed, as you look past her shoulder. "I suppose a woman as powerful as yourself would have anything you desired. You have fine taste."

She blinks, pulling herself out of her primal haze as she turns around, confused. She sees no tapestries... the wall is sparsely decorated.

But she never turns her head back around. With a swift blow with the sharp blade you dispatch her, successfully eliminating Durga's rival and pushing his plan forward. You grimace, you hate killing, but you know this was not a bad target. Before coming, you'd brushed up on the crimes against humanity that this woman had performed. A swift **** was a mercy.

The blonde woman screams, running for the door.

She's innocent, but she's a witness.
