From her periphery she had noted Patrocles watching the skirmish intently, and this amused her. It seemed she was not the only one within these walls having the desire to blood-let.<br/><br/>A hiss would flow sharply through clenched teeth as her wrist was clamped to tightly, and Ryann could not help but drop the blade the had managed to procure. Aulus had managed to curve his body against hers in a manner meant to keep her close with the grasp of her wrist. This closeness allowed her to feel the shift in his body, and the elbow that was aimed at her nose was only just avoided. A grunt was forced from her as his arm connected with her cheek, her head snapping back just a bit, yet his clamp upon her arm kept her close. She would use this to her advantage.<br/><br/>Her left arm being free, her hand would ball into a fist, and a powerful swing would come up, laying a blow right upon his exposed temple. This would allow his grip upon her hand to relax enough to give her free reign to put her own lithe form into a somersault, rolling across the dusty ground to come bouncing up in front of the Legionare once again. No time would be wasted, her right foot would lift to give a massive powerhouse frontal kick to his chest, hoping to at least take him off his feet.
