She didn't even slice at JT while doing this, but instead jumped past him, turning rapidly and raising her rapier once again. She couldn't combat a gladius with a rapier, unless she attacked her opponent's hand that held the sword. And even then, she considered armor and prosthetics. Ren thought about these things too much, but it was worth it. She began circling once more, blade raised again.[/i]
