She strikes at me, but it's slow and poorly aimed. She's better than that. I bring my Shinkenmaru around to block the strike well away from either of us, and try to meet her eyes.
She's good, but I am, as ever, better, no matter what Messiah did to her or made her believe. I am the second-in-command to our Lord for a reason.
The opportunity has presented itself, I would be remiss not to grasp it. I force my block, letting my blade skirt the length of hers until it catches at the hilt, and then with a deft twist of my wrist and arm, I send both blades scattering to the ground.
In a real fight, one I intended to win, I wouldn't have lost my own. But I need her back. I don't want to hurt her.
My now free hand grasps her shoulder and I can't help but shake her. "Chiaki! Come back to us! Where you belong!"
