Frowning as her first spell failed to have the effect she'd hoped for, Annalise suddenly found herself being targeted by both of her opponents for reasons she couldn't say she was entirely clear on as of yet. For one, Christie had been the one who had actually managed to remove Arihalna's blouse.
Still, she thought as she weaved beneath Arihalna's wind-infused sword, spotting Alison's whipping sabre just in the nick of time. Christie seems like she might be more effective at long range. If I can keep this up, she'll be able to wear them down from the other side of the arena.
Alison's sword glinted in the afternoon sun as she swung low, grazing the edge of Annalise's skirt before the second and third slices were parried by the lady in red's own dueling sabre. Never one to back down from a challenge, Annalise smirked confidently, her hastening magic now augmenting her reflexes.
"If this is the best the both of you can muster together, then I suggest you come up with a better plan than this. Challenging me to a fight with a blade is quite a grave mistake, I'm afraid." she taunted, providing her own reply with the tip of her ornate duelist's sword. "Let's see just how long you can keep this up."
Her thin sabre swishing to and fro like a conductor's baton, Annalise took a single swift step to the right, flicking her wrist in such a way as to pull her sword upward, straight up the center of Alison's dress. Should it connect as Annalise had planned, the quickening magic she had imbued herself with would kick into overdrive, shredding the garment to pieces in a flash and leaving her opponent a great deal more exposed.
(Body attack + Signature Weapon + 3 energy = a bonus of +6)
Regardless of whether or not Alison is disrobed, Annalise will retreat a few steps back in order to create some distance between her and her opponents, then target Alison with the same fire spell as before. If she still has her dress, she will attempt to split it (or singe some holes into it, in this case), but if she does not, Annalise will target her bra in an attempt to remove it outright.
