Aviendha didn't respond, but she kept up the dodging for another half-minute, before realizing it was taking more effort. She switched to a more offensive stance, alternating between spear thrusts at open points, and shield slams, to try to knock him off balance. She still kept a cautious approach, though, focusing more on feinting, dodging, and blocking than on attacking, clearly preferring to wait for, or bait, an opening, than waste effort attacking fruitlessly.
