Kick to the hip? Very beginner, she mused as she countered with a solid block using her empty hand, grabbing Neeshka's foot and twisting it sharply in an attempt to break the ankle while her knife slashed at the leg in hand once before letting go and pushing Neeshka's leg out to throw her off-balance.

If close-combat was Neeshka's plan, she was going to need back-up or this might not end well for either of them.
