Using her dagger was hard. Even with them in the right grip, hitting against muscle was difficult. Terra didn't have any blood lust, so seeing the wound was simply a note in the back of her mind, telling her how bad the injury was, and whether or not it would effect her opponent. Unfortunately it was a shallow cut. Would probably bleed a fair bit, but would do nothing more than sting slightly. Trying to recollect herself Terra stepped back, trying to think. There was really only a handful of moves that she really knew, with her last block failed. She knew to block with her forearm, how to stab, how to slice, and how to flip her dagger out of hiding. That was it. That left her in a pretty bad position.
Terra's expression was rather serious, and she didn't understand that the game level had just been upped. For her she was already fighting at her limits, trying to learn how to improve and become better. Her wound had been a lucky blow, simply because she'd lost control and snapped with her teeth instead of using her blade the way she was supposed to. Keeping on her feet Terra watched Axelle come forwards. She plunged the knife towards Terra's shoulder, but the one thing Terra was good at was dodging. She twisted her body out of the way, and brought her own blade up to strike at her opponent's leg. There was a small flick though, and something caught behind her. Panicked Terra reeled back, twisting so that she was on all fours. Cautiously Terra shifted herself back up onto two, watching the warrior warily.
