Well. Fair points, all of which crossed Yseult's mind in the time between noticing his presence and agreeing.

"None of that sounds likely," she says anyway, with a quick flash of a grin back. She attacks in the next heartbeat, a lightning-quick lunge forward as soon as he's prepared and not a second later. They both know he's bigger, stronger, and more experienced at this, so she takes her advantages where she can find them, aiming to slap the flat of her blade (edges dulled for just this purpose) just above his elbow and dance back out of the way of a return blow.

Bigger, stronger, more experienced, and not as light on his feet. Yseult's blow comes quick, and by the time Darras reacts she's already moved away. The slap of the blade leaves his arm stinging. He laughs anyways.

"Oh, so that's how it is? Tricky--"

He's shaking out his arm, apparently very distracted, right up until the point that his grip on his falchion tightens and he lunges at her, an overhead chop that he pulls at the last moment, switches to swipe at her side instead.
