[For the moment, Vivi's attention is focused on her opponent. The loss of his spear doesn't seem to hamper him much as he draws a short sword and lunges at her, swinging down hard. She leaps to her feet and dodges to one side; the momentum of the soldier's swing gives her time to get behind him and gain some distance before he recovers. She lashes out with both her Peacock Slashers, even as he's turning back to face her. She sees an instant of surprise in his eyes as her blades whoosh past him on either side of his face, then he breaks into a smirk. His thoughts are plain: you missed.]
[It only takes the slightest tug on the rings of her Slashers, and her true intent is evident as the blades loop back on opposite sides, wrapping their trailing wires loosely around his neck. Still, comprehension doesn't seem to dawn on him until she tugs again, sharply this time, tightening the wires. The soldier brings one hand to his throat, trying to tear them away, and with the other brings his short sword up for another blow as he continues to advance.]
[Vivi holds her breath. This will be the tricky part; as he gets closer, some of the tension goes out of her Slasher wires. She has to act before he gets free. She feints to the left, hoping to put him off balance, and when he swings, dives forward again...right between his legs. She's on her feet in an instant, running, trying to gain as much momentum as she can as she yanks the Slashers behind her. He's a lot bigger than she is, so even ignoring the somewhat weakened state she's in after her kidnapping, she's not sure if it will work.]
[Thankfully, the abruptness of the action coupled with the tight wires hindering his airway seem to be enough, and he pitches forward, head connecting with rock with a painful-sounding crack. Vivi finally dares spare a glance to see how Lindsay is doing.]
