Helen withdrew from Lena, beginning a slow, casual circle around the medic from about 20 feet away. As Lena glanced up during her work, Helen lifted her voice a bit and said, "Whenever something requires you to look down for more than a few seconds, take some time to glance up and look around every once in a while, just like you're doing. Humans are ambush predators, after all."
The mercenary waited until she was directly behind Lena, and paused, considering whether to strike from this direction. Then, decided that she would just pause to psyche Lena out, then continued walking in a circle. When she was at the 2 AM position relative to Lena, she said, "So, how long have you been a healer for?"
Salt waited for her response, and as soon as Lena started speaking, like a wildcat and with a burst of movement, Salt pounced towards the healer in full view, bounding with several long strides to close the distance, wooden sword posed to strike!
