Had he not sensed the presence of someone close by, she may have landed her initial strike as she intended. It was a movement that nearly happened in the blink of an eye, and had he not drawn his blade to intercept, the end result would not have been pretty; she had aimed for his throat after all. For now, she had simply clashed with metal instead of flesh, and the swordsman needed no guesses about her intentions. A glare comes across his face as he stares down his would-be assassin, before taking a couple of swings at her in an attempt to ward her off momentarily.
He would then waste no time taking into the air and falling back down a few feet away in order to create space between the two. His eyes remained focused on the assailant, before taking a moment to voice a solid, clear statement to her, “You’re not going to win. Surrender.”
Despite this, there’s a feeling in his gut that she’s not interested in talking, or anything but his death. And as such, prepared to go on the defensive with an enemy he knew nothing about.
