"Now, the question is what do I do with you"
Kat heard the movement of steel sliding out of a sheath and knew that she could rule out the twins.
"I was looking for a partner, but finding the demon collapsed in the snow gives me mixed feelings"
Kat heard boots crunch as the figure approached
"I'd thought you'd be one of the stronger contenders in this challenge, but I guess not"
Kat heard the wind whistle and felt a blade coming towards her. Kat's tail without even the need for vision snaked itself around the attacker's arm and held it in an iron grip.
"Oh? Not quite as out of it as I'd thought… but why bother with the charade?"
Kat turned her head a bit, not enough to see past the thick wall of snow, but enough to use her mouth. "Wasted all my energy a few hundred metres back on a dumb idea. If you want to stop attacking me for a minute, I'll be all good"
"Why should I when I can just finish you off here?"
