"Whuh?" The blonde was caught off guard by her opponent and she missed her grapple badly. However, she was experienced enough to realize that Lariné's counter would probably be at her legs, and she braced for it.<br/><br/>Sure enough, she felt the canvas shake as Lariné hit the mat and made a dash for her legs, but Erica was prepared. She immediately jumped over her opponent, completely dodging the attack and leaving her opponent face down on the mat for the moment. She only had a few seconds to weigh her options, but in the end it was in her best interest to keep the contest on the mat, for she was not sure of her opponent's striking skills. "A fine escape, land lover, but ye grappling skills can’t compare with me own."<br/><br/>Turning around sharply, she grabbed hold of Lariné's ankle and attempted to twist it in a direction it was never meant to go. If she was successful in applying the ankle lock, she could either hold it or use it as a base to switch into a more complex maneuver.<br/><br/><strong>Hold Break: 11, Stamina Damage: 8</strong>http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=405630 So no stamina damage<br/><strong>Hold Start: 10 Pressure: 1 (bleh)</strong>http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=405646
