[ While Gil grows more irritated, Asuna burns with even more determination. She's been going on for this long, holding her own, she wants to win this. She said she would win this or she's going to keep coming at him with the intention to win. It's probably the hardest she's ever had to concentrate during a battle. She has to watch each swing of his sword and move her body accordingly. Then, she has to quickly come up with a way to counter attack.
And this has been going on for a while now.
It's not that she refused to tire, she's exhausted. But she won't let it show in front of him. All that shows is the sweat that slides down the side of her face and neck as she grips her sword more tightly, another clang filling the area. The Alfersa are dead silent, watching that small body of Asuna's come at Gil with ferocity that doesn't change.
She doesn't answer to his goad. Her sword strikes out again at him with her hard expression. Inside, she burns hotter. She'll only fall when she's ready to fall. As he leans on his sword, Asuna remains standing back five feet and her chest heaves with her deep breaths. She keeps her sword steady, pointing at him before a hand reaches up and wipes at her cheek.
Surrender? Not a chance. Was he actually holding back when he's leaning so heavily on his own sword? While she keeps herself upright? Her eyelids just twitch a little before widening, seeing him coming at her too quickly. What the- ]
H-Hey!
[ She leaps out of his path at the last second, but she tumbles and rolls against the ground. She's covered in dirt when she sits up on her hands, glaring from her spot on the floor. What was that?! She wasn't expecting him to charge her like an animal! Struggling a bit to get onto her feet, she finally shouts back. ]
