She admitted that she didn't see his next move coming - he moved impressively fast and was standing in front of her in what seemed like only a second. Before she could even blink, he was wrestling her and they landed on the ground in an unfortunate position - well, unfortunate for her, as he was on top. Even so, she was able to block his obvious attempt at slicing her throat, and although he did manage to make a cut across her collarbone, Alecta wasn't all that fussed about it.
Instead, she was preoccupied with coming up with her next move but it didn't take long to figure it out - in this close distance, plunging her ninja star into his heart was an obvious answer. Apparently, he thought so too, because he managed to grab her wrist before she could end his life, but as he jerked her hand away, the sharp end of her weapon grazed his chest, making a long cut on his skin. It didn't look deep but she figured that it was better than nothing and smiled to herself.
