That fact makes itself abundantly clear as Alisaie continues her assault forward, gaze focused but not quite there. Not the Alisaie she knows and trusts. Riza ducks and rolls to avoid the brunt of the attack, but her step is too slow and her arm's caught in the upswing, the rapier leaving behind a trail of red in its wake. She hisses in pain, arm jerking close to her side, but keeps moving, towards the door and some semblance of freedom.
Still, she saves a breath for a second attempt, voice louder in pitch. ]
