I swept up and left, aiming to bring Crocea Mors down on her neck, but when she went to parry it, I twisted my wrists about the hilt and revealed my feint, striking at her from the other side. Her eyes widened, but she was able to duck underneath it.

Though that might have been a bad sign in any other circumstance, I knew she'd be regaining her footing after her panicked dodge and thus not in a good position to attack. Even if she did, the blow would be light and ineffectual, but someone as skilled as her knew better than to try in the first place and it never came.
