*Alanna ceases her attack on Elaine and bursts out laughing at Meg's furious attack on the tree.*
Meg! Now what did that tree do to deserve that? Come over here.
*After watching Faith and Svava for a moment, she turns back to Elaine.*
It's always better to attack than defend. Remember that. Keep your blows steady and quick, always looking for your opponent's weakness. Despite your opponent's intentions, you should look for opportunities to disarm, not stab. Stabbing might knock you off balance. Instead, step into blows and knock their blades to the side, as we discussed. Attempt to throw them off balance. Then slide your sword around theirs and twist.
*Face impassive, Alanna darts forward again, whipping her sword around and in, disarming Elaine with a deceptively simple flick of her wrist.*

Like that. Make sense? Attack me. Anyone.
