Benjamin's hit to Sonya's shoulder felt like a light tap to the trained assassin but she could still tell that there was a good amount of force behind it. Yet, she was more impressed by his ability to actually hit her while he dodged her fast attack. [i]Speed is obviously his strongest skill.[/i] She noted as she took a step back to analyze his reaction to her own hit. During her fight with Cyril, she didn't hear his voice mixed in with the rest of the group conversing about their chances in battle. Quick glances showed he was just watching her, studying every move she made. Even now, he still had that analytic look on his face. [i]He's already showing signs of a good Cloud Guardian.[/i] 

It was then than Sonya noticed Benjamin roll his shoulder indicating that her attack had affected him more than he expected. [i]Let's see how durable you are behind that sword.[/i] Sonya lunged forward with another spear-hand attack aimed at Ben's sword arm and he responded by bringing the rapier down to parry her hand. However, she suddenly pulled away just as the blade swung down, leaving him open. Sonya chopped his wrist, making him drop the sword before placing three swift strikes at his opposite shoulder, rib cage and hip. She finished with a leg sweep, knocking him over and onto his back. She looked down on him for a few moments before turning back to the group.

"Two down." She announced, her voice tinged with superiority. Abby shuddered again, awed by how this fight ended as quickly as the last. Speaking of the last fight...

"How's your arm?" She whispered to Cyril who took a seat next to her, still cradling his injured arm. She wondered if she needed to go inside and get some more ice. Or a sling.
