[Alice has only just managed to reach in to grab the Mahne's handle and begin shaking off it's carrying bag when Gavial pitches forward for her. She'd well learned her lesson last time on that tail the other woman had and she does her best to side-step her, bringing her weapon up to block those outstretched hands in the hopes that Gavial might just grab the bag instead of her.
In this moment Alice's propensity to be entirely covered might just be her biggest advantage though. Her arms from elbow to hand are the only thing bare on her save her neck and head. If he's a quick jab Amos might just get her but between her holding her sword horizontally before her, that bag being in the way over half the blade and all it sure makes her arms a tedious target to go for.
Typically in a fight Alice is one to stand her ground and go down swinging. Running is very rarely an option and she'd much rather face her opponents head on. She can't help though in not being so much angry as disappointed in the moment.]
This is how you face Meridians then? Reaching to incapacitate in groups rather than fight with some honor?

With luck if Gavial gets her bag instead of her Alice can simply pull the rest of the weapon out. If that happens she doesn't waste time in swinging that six foot thing of two longswords slammed together in the middle around her in the hopes of creating space.
