Thalassa
Sometimes you have to
burn yourself to the ground
burn yourself to the ground
Never having thought she was one for 'predictability,' she was somewhat surprised when Hadama avoided her attack. Her face didn't show it, but the swing of her arm through air hadn't been expected, causing her to look up to assess her opponent's movements. Which turned out to be a powerful swing at her head.
The strike falling towards her was too controlled to be truly dangerous, but Thal didn't recognize that, only seeing a very large man swinging a very heavy trident right for her head. Tightening her jaw to brace for impact, she rolled to her side, making herself even smaller. The weapon struck the edge of her arm as she barely avoided what she thought was guaranteed decapitation. The thrill of adrenaline brought a cringing smile to her face as she returned to a crouch, rotating her shoulder to ensure there wasn't any major damage.
She followed the assessment with a retreat of her own, making some distance before releasing her dagger in a throw for his chest. Hopefully it would deter him from attacking for the moment.
