I am SO sorry this took so long.

The black blade was stopped by the sword, there was even a faint metallic 'ting' to the clash, though the substance hadn't changed significantly. Ophelia was already moving though, swinging her other hand outward, and the first blade faded back into nothing as a second arched out from around her in a more downward arc towards the other woman. She kept walking forward during the attack, closing the space between them.

"If you had just left we wouldn't be having this problem," she said with a sigh.

no problem

"I don't run away," she shot back cockily, moving to parry the blow again. Well, okay, so she didn't run away when she was the Warrior. As the thief, and some other dress spheres, sure, of course she did. Not all her outfits gave her the same strength as this one; in fact, only one or two others did, and Shiva knew she couldn't rely on just them. A tactical retreat was good sometimes.

Just not right now.

Ophelia sighed. "Sometimes running away is the smart thing to do, you know." She stepped forward and lashed her arm out again and another wave of black tears formed into a blade and swung at the other. They were strong swings, though there was nothing fancy about them. Ophelia's training, before she'd become the Queen of Black Tears, had been in fighting with daggers and short-swords, which the tears were anything but.

The attacks were easy to see a mile away; they weren't very skillful, even if they did make her mentally wince whenever she blocked one. They were good, solid strikes, if low-class. Thinking about that, Rikku decided that it was time to end this; she had wasted enough time already. She dodged the blow, but not far enough; it swiped across her left arm, giving a nasty cut from shoulder to elbow. But the blonde ignored it, running forward and swinging her sword back, turning it so the flat of the blade would hit. Let's see how this chick did with close combat.

The moment she managed to hit the girl Ophelia grinned...and then it faded into a hiss as the flat of Rikku's sword slammed into her arm and side, and the blue-skinned woman was knocked aside, sliding to a stop a few feet away, the black cloud boiling around her.

"Okay, this is getting old."

She lunged forward, slashing out at the girl again, a sideways hit this time.

[klutziness]

"No kidding," she agreed with a savage grin. She still wasn't feeling the hit on her arm, thanks to adrenaline, but she knew that if she didn't end this quickly there'd be more than just a catfight going on. She parried the blow with her sword and then her leg shot out, aiming a kick at the other woman's leg, trying to knock her off balance.
