Nara's blade hissed as Kori parried it away, deflecting her stab. The sapphire blade pierced towards the air, fizzing against the other saber. Nara gritted her teeth and tried to put some strength into breaking that guard, but it seemed to hold pretty well. Kori wasn't going to be beaten that way, that was for sure.
She saw the spin as it happened, watching Kori shift and move, her leg heading towards her. It was too late for Nara to dodge, not without letting go of the saber completely. She braced, waiting for it as one hand slipped from her saber hilt. As she did, the foot smacked into her lower leg. A jolt of pain ran through her as her knee threatened to buckle, her form taking a shake and a wobble. Nara growled as she lashed out, that free hand taking the advantage.
As Kori's foot smacked into her, her arm would move to try and curl around Kori's leg. If she was quick enough, she'd trap that foot and leg right against her, providing a sudden jolt to Kori's movement, leaving her off-balance. Perfect for her guard to drop, or for Fiach to really get in there. It wasn't the most fair play in the world, but Nara wasn't a fair person. Fighting dirty had kept her breathing so far.
