[No one’s ever accused Gavial of going easy on her opponents. Whether in a real fight or a friendly spar, she’s always been of the mind that it’s best to go all-out. It’s more fun that way, more respectful—at least in her mind—and it keeps the whole thing moving smoothly.
And, maybe, she’s a little bad at holding back.
So there’s a very conscious effort on her part to keep her hands very firmly in position on the haft of her axe and away from the trigger that would set the spiny teeth along its edge to start spinning. Weapon-wise, the fight looks unbalanced at the outset with knife against battle-axe, and she’s more interested in seeing how well he might handle the disparity. And if he’s got more tricks up his sleeves? She wants to see them. The real question is, what would it take to make that happen?
With his defensive posturing and the quickness with which he sought to regain the distance between them, she’s getting the feeling he might be the more cautious and methodical type. Provoking a retaliation from him might take some prodding, which Gavial is all too eager to provide. She keeps her momentum going, her tail swinging behind her to aid with her balance as she pivots to follow his movement with zero hesitation. Her weapon is hefted once more, this time fully following through with a wide and heavy swing at a downward angle.]
