lirael fight with binder

[T]he Stilken erupted out of the pool beside her and attacked with its ferocious hooks.
Somehow, Binder met them in a spray of white sparks and steam, and a shock that nearly dislocated Lirael's shoulder. She stumbled back, screaming with sudden battle rage as much as panic, instinctively dropping into the guard position. Sparks flew again and water hissed as the Stilken attacked again, its hooks barely parried in time by Lirael and Binder.
