[ That reaction. That look on his face as realization set in, and the acrid smell of iron thick in the air was enough to make her pause for a second. Had she completely run him through? Her intention hadn't been to kill him and yet the crimson on her spear's blade was unmistakeable, matching the blood pooling so grotesquely on the ground.
It was enough that Ei carefully had pulled the spear out, taking the smallest of steps back. Words wouldn't come amidst her fears she had actually dealt him a too-serious injury when all she'd intended was to simply make him stop coming at her. Ei's brows knit into a frown behind her mask and she opened her mouth for a second as if contemplating apologizing to him but held back on that. Such could be possibly construed as an insult to his pride, and as someone who also used a sword? That was simply something she couldn't do.
This very minute train of thought is enough that she almost doesn't catch the movement in time and jumps back swiftly, avoiding the hit with ease. ]
Impossible.. you shouldn't be..
[ Anything else Ei wanted to say was stopped shortly as her mask suddenly fell to the ground in two pieces. Her eyes stared down at what was left of the mask, aware this was not a good situation anymore. There was no protection from the effects of the moonless night.
She had so many questions, about how this wolfish young man could still move and hold his blade while injured like that, but this fight now needed to be taken care of.
Those words may have even struck fear into other people, but Ei was far from a 'normal' person. As her head rose up and her gaze met his, it would be very clear that her eyes were now glowing ethereally compared to their appearance before. This wasn't a measure she'd wanted to go to, but it had moved to a non-negotiable point of no return. ]
You should have stayed down.
[ Ei moved to hold her hand over the top of her chest, purple electricity sparking wildly just before the hilt of a sword appeared. She grabbed it and pulled it out fully, holding it above her head. ]
