Alleic wasn’t surprised when she was able to counter his blow, but he was surprised at how fluid she moved doing it, she was obviously a master of her martial art. That having been said she had be trained to defend herself, and to hold off an opponent without truly hurting them…as most civilian’s had where as he had been taught to kill and cripple his opponent silently, and quickly. Rather than pulling back or trying to fight the movement he simple speed up, leaning his weight into the thrust and stepping forward and out of range of her kick before spinning around.<br/><br/>Re-entering his stance he slowly moved forward this time striking out with a quick kick to her side.<br/>
