When Melita backed off Saiden gave her a nod. His lips twitched at her words. "Where's the hnnn fun in that," he managed to get out. Placing one hand on his side he sucked in deep gulps of air.
However, he hadn't fully recovered by the time she struck again. His eyes widened as her hilt came for him a second time. Knowing he wouldn't be able to dodge out of the way or block her, he took a different approach.
Lifting his other foot, he lashed out. His goal was to slam his boot into her knee, or any part of her leg he could hit. Then her own blow connect and he lost feeling in that leg. Collapsing to his knees he held up his free hand to ask for a break.
