Having not expected the attack to actually work, Elizabeth was appreciative when her eyes cleared to confirm the hit. And sure enough, her staff had made contact with Evie's leg, a small victory in her eyes. Even as her smile threatened to come forward at the accomplishment, she had to contain her excitement. It was one hit. She hadn't even come close to winning the spar.
In her distracted thought process, Elizabeth wasn't paying very close attention for the counterattack. Instead, she barely registered the brown blur coming for her ribs. Unable to smoothly defend the incoming blow with her staff, she did the next best thing. She pulled her elbow down to protect the more vulnerable part of her body. It still earned her a wicked thwack and a certainty of later pain, but she chuckled through the pain. "Ohohoh-ow." Her smile was growing as she took the moment to flip the staff using her uninjured arm. As it gained momentum, she brought it down in a crushing blow at Evie.
