You don't have to tell me that, Ali thought, though she kept it too herself and simply nodded. Focusing on the task as hand was more important than squabbling over whether or not she could take care of herself in a fight. This...man, if it could be called that, felt so....odd to her. Not just the straight anger, bloodlust that he was displaying on the outside - there was something else there. Sadness - regret, maybe. Ah well, best not to think of it now she reasoned, leaping back to avoid the downward swipe of her opponent's scythe. I can puzzle over that when the battle is through.
She took a moment to resummon that....aura, she guessed. Ali really had no clue what it was that she made. She took it, and on a moment's intuition, pushed it out towards the man - a dark cloud of all the pain of this ravaged town, hoping it would reach him before he could use that weapon of his to make it dissipate again, hoping she could tap that...regret that she had sensed.
