[ Asuna doesn't have to wait long before she sees Gil coming with a very direct approach that should be easy to block and then parry. But the force behind his swing makes her arm tremble, tremors traveling through to her shoulder that makes her gasp. This clang of tempered metal meeting each other is louder than the last, but she holds her ground by reaching up with her other hand so she's holding her rapier with both hands to fight against his power.
Even if she had no plans to underestimate him, now she had an idea of what he's capable of.
It's not the proper etiquette to hold a rapier with two hands, not something Setsuna taught her, but she's going to have to cut this corner. Her teeth grit and she pushes against him, breaking free again so she can step back, retreating, before going in again.
It's a dance for her. Back and forth, light on her feet, her sword flashing as it cuts at him again. This time, vertically, at his chest. ]
