A sound of glee escaped her about half way through the boost, she couldn't help it. Josephine landed and was grateful for the brief moment of pause to sort her footing and honestly figure out how to use the sword. Trying to blend what she'd seen in movies with the training she'd had on how to handle a knife in combat she managed to parry the first attack and just as he gave the warning about being able to be injured missed the second and caught a slash on the arm. "Son of a Bitch." She said at the stinging sensation as her already adrenaline pumped body started to work it's magic and ease the injury.
In retaliation, she flipped her grip, holding the sword 'upside down' causing the blade to run parallel to her arm. She raised her arm to catch the next attack and pushed back forcefully which, with her strength, caught the man off balance as he toppled over the side of the ship.
