I won't give in, til I reach the end, and then I'll start again

Avantika did not disappoint his expectations when she leaped back away from the swing of his sword. Artorias was proud of her; she was a quick study! Tika moved in towards him quickly, coming at him with her jaws aimed for his neck. She was bold to be going right for him head-on, especially when he was armed and she was not. Bold, but foolish. He would show her why. Instead of trying to dodge her attack outright, Artorias instead bladed his body to turn his left shoulder towards his attacking sister, angling his head just as she bit at his neck so that his sword blade was sticking downward when she latched onto him. He hissed at the stings of pain her teeth left, but it had been worth the sacrifice to gain a favorable position.

With Tika gripping to the lower side of his neck, Artorias was able to stick the blade of his sword between her legs. From there, he gave a sudden jerk of his head, the blade of the sword between her legs sweeping from beneath her in an outward movement to aim to topple her over. Whether he was successful or not, in the same arcing swing, Artorias brought the sword back down towards her, aimed for a blow to her side. It was not enough to cause much harm, but definitely enough to knock the wind out of the smaller girl and maybe make her think twice about her next brazen attack.
