Taalia Giovanni
Taalia kept it up, able to see that her plan was slowly working, inch by inch, as she kept advancing step by step to back the Stormvermin into a corner where she could pin him behind his own shield, neutralise his swinging arm, and then stab him in his disgusting face.
Angling her shield this way and that, arching her shoulders to help glance blows off harmlessly or remove her body by just millimeters from danger, Taalia kept stabbing with her weapon, each squeal of pain from the vile ratman encouraging her with her strategy. Though rage was a wild fire in her eyes it had not yet moved to her brain to abdicate any reason or discipline. She wasn't dealing with some cowardly clanrat this time, this was a dangerous threat and she had to control herself, however hot her passions may run.
