While it wouldn't do much good to attack him if he was just going to block the attack, Anessa was all for trying to tire the speedy little bugger out as much as she could, so she charged in and made a leaping slash at him anyway. Just as the blade collided with his shield, there, the beam seemed to flash black for a fraction of a second, so quickly one probably won't notice unless they were looking directly at it when it happened. Even with his shield in the way, he would probably end up feeling the hit in his arm and shoulder with the amount of force she brought down right on its center.
