<em>Defense</em>was another issue. For one thing, Delphine had fought with claws before - Claws were simple. You reached out, and you ripped down. Evasion was largely a matter of not being there when the blow hit.<br/><br/>But with her sword in hand - Things were different! Delphine gave ground, then gave ground again...A little yelp coaxed from her lips, as she nearly slipped. Fighting with something that wasn't<em>part</em>of her was way more difficult than she could have imagined-!<br/><br/>Sparks flew, as Delphine parried - First by accident, then again. She was beginning to grasp the concepts, the basics...Though turning it into a coherent response was<em>far</em>more difficult. She definitely wasn't as good as Sophie, but she was beginning to get the hang of things - Or so she hoped!
