Of course the coyote leaped back. That would have been Terra's choice as well, if she'd been able to move. Terra flipped the dagger to her other hand, wishing that her leg wasn't injured. It would make this so much easier. Practice or not, this was a battle, and she would be giving as much as she could in it. Not that she had much to give. Terra's idea of battle tended to be a lot more slippery, all kinds of dirty tricks used.
Terra stayed calm at the flashing teeth, focusing on reading the flow of the strike. She wanted to twist out of the way of the strike, leap away, but it was impossible. Instead Terra brought up her free hand, pushing up against the arm and away, moving to grab the hand and make it useless as she moved forward with her own dagger, slashing in her attack. True, that wasn't just strictly using her dagger, but hey. She couldn't be expected to just fight with a dagger when she couldn't move, right?
