(AN: I'm well aware. Elise........not so much. Too many points to be a sword in her eyes :P)

Elise was actually caught off guard by how quickly Glaukos moved to block her swiping. Mid-spin she felt the great shield slam into her blade, causing her to elbow herself in the side and tip over like a top, using every last muscle to avoid slicing the other arm against the other edge of the ring.

Luckily, Elise had been through this situation at least once before. The small girl had quite the arm strength though and, using the momentum from her spin-out, managed to keep her legs off the ground as she rolled away rather comically from her partner. At the last second she dug one of her boots toward the ground and lifted up, straightening her arms out and catching herself before she spun off balance again.

Now, a yard or so away from Glaukos, she had time to think.

The shield was the biggest problem, and she wouldn't be able to disarm him without slicing off his entire arm - completely doable, but not recommended, of course. She supposed she could go for the legs - it would be far more difficult to block those with shield or sword, she figured, given he would have to bend or duck down and the ring itself could be too fast for that.

She couldn't risk getting that close either, however, and elected instead to switch the ringblade to her two chakram forms. Elise had an idea - no clue if it would work, but it was all she had on such short notice.

No need to expend her semblance on this. Elise broguht her right foot at an angle behind her left and unwound her legs, using the short burst of speed and direction to whip one of her chakrams at Glaukos' legs. The weapon's diameter looked large enough to her that he would have to step pretty far to avoid it, speed prevented him from running from it, and she hoped that if he jumped the trajectory would still give him a nick on the foot or ankle, if anything.

But she didn't have time to think past that, as she suddenly turned and circled the training area, ready to sweep in and take the chakram back if this admitted stretch of a plan actually managed to work.
