It didn't take Thal-ion long to realize that he had to take the offensive if he wanted to have any hope of beating her. During one of her strikes he used the Force to propel him, rolling under her strike and rolled behind her. She spun around just as quickly, blocking his flurry of lunges and strikes. He was attempting to disarm her. Not that it would be the end of the world if he did. Unlike many dual-wielders who depended too heavily on having both blades and were almost helpless when left with one, she had trained hard to avoid that short-coming.<br/><br/>His quick strikes never let up, even for a second, they simply kept coming, one after the other. She had to admit, his speed was as impressive as the form was elegant. Nevertheless, she had to overcome it. She would have to be faster. Rather than switch to Ataru as she suspected he was expecting, she switched to a blend of Djem So. Rather than simply parrying, blocking, or dodging his attacks, she used the force of his attacks against him. That was one of the strengths of this form over Soresu. Rather than simply taking the defensive and waiting for an opening, this form combined defense with offense, allowing her to use the force of his attacks against him, launching quick counterattacks rather than waiting around for an opening.<br/><br/>She used one blade to block his, redirecting his own power back at him while bringing the second blade in for a counterattack. Rather than actually striking with her blade, however, she pulled a trick from the Niman form, using the force to push him back. Rather than launch forward in another attack, though, she relaxed and stood up straight, deactivating her sabers and giving him a bow before clipping them to her belt.<br/><br/>"That... Was fun." she smiled gently. "That was the best match I've had in a long time. You're a very skilled duelist." she spoke honestly, rather than to flatter him. Not that she made a habit of flattering anyone. In fact, she couldn't remember a time when she had ever done such a thing. She then got them both another cup of water, approaching him and holding his out to him. "I think you made a wise choice in choosing your lightsaber forms. They seem to fit you very well." she spoke up again, being honest, if almost a bit random.
