[Training] She moves in misterious ways

'Cause sometimes we don't really notice just how good it can get

Her laughter is bright and a clear betrayal of her location this time, positively gleeful over succeeding twice in a row now with each man. As such his attack is far more well-targeted this time, as she scarcely even moves once her attack hits, too busy leaning over with her hands on her thighs trying to keep her knees from turning to jelly with her laughter. It's a great thing to feel, and she lets it wash over her, trying to take more time to enjoy such joyous moments after Enzo had pleaded with her to continue living, to try.

As such, she inevitably fails to react in time. Or at least that's what she'll tell herself, rather taking the loss than praising Talyson's skill outwardly. The knife strikes true this time, cutting straight across the slope of the top of her shoulder, neatly slicing through her trapezius muscle. Gasping, she straightens and spins away, even as the humor never fades from her face, too accustomed to pain on the battlefield. "You got me that time!" she calls out into the mist, wondering if he'd want to continue or call it quits. But, just for good measure, she twitches her fingers and has the wind around him tornado around his head, mussing up his hair and flinging his scarf in every direction to dissuade any early celebrations.
