Seras took a stance, and I had to admit that her posture was practically flawless. She positioned herself so carefully that I couldn't find any obvious openings, no matter how closely I examined her movements. Her balance was perfect, her grip on the estoc looked natural, and her entire body seemed ready to respond to whatever attack I decided to throw at her. It was the kind of stance that made attacking someone feel like a terrible idea before the fight had even properly begun.
Then, without giving me much time to think, she suddenly dashed forward.
