[ Asuna had seen the brief widening of his eyes and she resists the urge to grin confidently that she's made her point that this will be much more than holding her own. The meeting of their swords creates a loud clanging but all other sounds are drowned out, even any the Alfersa make when they see Asuna go for Gil with all the speed she can muster.
Like Gil, however, she's taken aback by the glow that happens in his eyes like a predator looking down at prey. She looks the rabbit, just like her carrier, since she's not prepared for it. She keeps their swords locked, pushing against each other and reads his lips. Stunned, she grips her sword harder.
Then suddenly, her eyes flash and burn with a fire too. There is one thing that's kept her going, a sentiment she heard from one of the first people she met in Caissa. But living on, that is a fight on its own. One of the first things Setsuna said to her. Asuna fights. She wants to survive so she can go home.
The blades grind against each other as she twists her wrist, both tips pointed towards the ground. Then she pulls herself free, dancing back a few steps and holding up her sword again, expression stolid. It's all in the pale red fire of her eyes. ]
