Terra watched the larger weapon be thrown to the side with some relief. She didn't know how to fight, and didn't feel the particular urge to commit suicide by pitting herself against something so large on her first go. Maybe when she had more practice Terra would be willing to go against a sword with her dagger, but for now it was best to avoid such a situation. At least until she had learned some more about how to use it. Terra watched a blade that matched her own be pulled off, and grinned. It looked tiny in the large optime's paws. At least a dagger suited Terra's small nature.
Thoughts were thrown aside as Axelle charged her though. Eyes widened Terra braced herself as she watched the knife come straight for her. At the last moment she chickened out, her survival instincts taking over the need to try and meet the blade with her own. It was much safer, allowing Terra to escape without a scratch. Relieved Terra pivoted, facing her foe's back. She drove her dagger forward, aiming for the broad mark. Hopefully she'd be swift enough to stab it between the ribs before the other turned around. Clumsily Terra gripped it, hoping against hope that it wouldn't jar out of her hand or her lack of experience causing it to do no damage.
