Keep her on the defensive? She felt a whole lot like she was on the offensive in the last few moves, but then again, she was always a little cocky in fights. It was half the reason she tended to actually lose, which she knows is true, but it doesn’t stop her. Idiot, Erebor would have told her, kindly but chastising all the same.
Like he had not expected the kick, she hadn’t expected the way the water splits. His control is annoyingly good, and it’s too late for her to move out of the way, one leg raised in the kick as it is. It is all she can do to turn her face away and close her eyes to the water, not ideal in battle. As soon as she can, she plants both feet, about to spin away, though she’s too late.
The hilt of his cutlass rams into her shoulder and she grunts in pain. Half blind, and annoyed that she can’t just burn away the damn water (add to the list of reasons to learn her magic), Weaver whips the shaft of the scythe up, hoping it will hit an outstretched arm, his chest, whatever. She really doesn’t care. The shaft is long enough that she figures she’s likely to hit something, and though her grip is weak, maybe it’d be enough to distract him from the water.
