[Training] caught in the undertow

WESSEX out of the night that covers me Not here, not now, but against someone else, some not-demigod, someone of Mabel’s measure and ilk - yes, then daggers would matter. And it’s good for her to have all kinds of experiences to call upon, so she might have something to pull from memory and not be caught unawares - like her sister was. Mabel goes down in a way Wessex hadn’t anticipated (she’d wanted to hinder, really, but this would work too), causing the Queen to side-step in surprise, then scoot back with two feet on a soft oomph as the blade comes swinging by her ankles. It misses, but only barely. So Wessex tries to disarm Mabel by stomping on her wrist and holding it fast - if it were any non-Ascended she’d try a different tactic, but as she can’t feel the pain, why not? black as the pit from pole to pole i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul
