Lin nearly fell over herself changing her angle to head Holiday off, trying to shorten the distance between them. But Lin was a moment too slow to cut her off and she soon found herself behind the woman - their speed nearly matched, a stalemate. The woman gasped involuntarily as she spoke, the springing just beginning to do her in. "Don't you run away from me...!"

She did her best to leap forward in a swipe, missing her target but perhaps threatening her: the blades broke through the wind in a loud thwap!. It seemed as though now it would come down to who ran out of stamina first - or tripped. "Did you hear me, bitch?!" Unwilling to take the risk that it might be her, Lin stuck a shortsword between her teeth and fumbled for her bow.
