Shio's reaction speed was as impeccable as Kasumi's speed was - while that was bad for the battle, it was something definitely good to know if the two ever travelled together. Kasumi's roll would give her a brief period of grace with which to functionally avoid being blinded, but the aftereffects of the spell would still affect her - and her landing would suffer slightly for it, and she skidded a few feet past her intended destination. Using the change of posture to her advantage and recovering quickly, she sprung forwards in a low roll to avoid the knife. The conserved momentum would be sufficient enough that she'd easily leap six feet towards Shio - and in preparation for Shio casting another spell, she would use her Veil of Mists immediately upon landing, and prepared herself to cast as necessary depending on the situation.

blah blah blah mark 1s moving into sphere of mist etc. etc.
