Liltotto Lamperd

An unexpected move would occur as Elyss moved to kick her, the sword in Liltotto’s grasp suddenly dispelling as she’d do several moves within an instant, her eyes on her real target - Elyss’ still grounded foot; Firstly, reishi collected into a small bow in her grasp barely after the sword dissipated. Second, she’d very suddenly sidestep away from Elyss’ foot as she formed the weapon, having moved to the woman’s side and quickly gaining distance. Third and finally, her weapon would launch a chain toward Elyss’ feet, coiling quickly around whatever it would grasp, and with her momentum she would grab the chain in one hand and yanked.

She was uninterested in allowing a Shinigami to underestimate her; that easy to telegraph kick just told her the Captain likely saw nothing but an ant at her boot, nothing to sweat at, nothing of interest. The mere idea left a poisonous taste in her mouth and ran spite through her veins, but her focus on the fight did not falter, gathering small balls of Reiryoku in her hands and smoothly dispersing them into the general area she stood at with the quick swipe of a hand across the sand, their locations invisible to the naked gaze. Even if the trip up didn’t work out, approaching her would have teeth traps lying in wait.

Mmm! Nice reactions. Elyss found it rather spectacular that Liltotto was able to move so efficiently. Not knowing much about Quincy combat, Elyss wasn't sure if Liltotto had any impressive close combat skills. Though, of course it all fell back into that marksmanship that she's read about. This is more of what she expected, but her opponent didn't fire any arrows at her. A chain of Reishi? Wanting to experience that ranged expertise of the race, Elyss' eye twitched, feeling her leg grabbed.

A chain around her ankle, Elyss didn't put up much resistance as she felt her footing dislodged from underneath her. Falling back, she let her hands catch her, bending her elbows until her head resting atop the sand. Her fingers aren't really capable of getting much purchase with sand slipping between them, but one must make do with what they have. That's why she yanked her leg, hoping to shatter the energy around it, flipping herself fully.

"You're rather technical," Elyss mused, straightening herself. "I wasn't expecting a brawl, but I figured I'd be more of a target dummy than playing Russian Roulette."

Making light of the booby-trapped battlefield, Elyss reached to her side, grabbing hold of her Zanpakuto.

"How about we kick things up a notch."

Liltotto Lamperd

Forming her spirit weapon, a rather simple looking bow, she'd shrug her shoulders,

"I'm a part of the Sternritter; if I wanted a training dummy I would've stayed at the center I was teaching at," She'd call back to Elyss, readying her bow, "And i'm a bit too much for the typical member. Underestimation's a mistake here."

Finally the Shinigami seemed to be taking her seriously; if she couldn't even get the captain to draw her sword, then that'd just feel like a mockery of her efforts. Of course she was intentionally using non-fatal moves; she recognized in her training she had a severe disparity between tame attacks and deadly ones, that she should push herself to find a middle ground in the event deadly force isn't favorable, and this was that such scenario regardless of how much he senses were screaming flight responses through her body from the woman's scent.

As her sentence had drawn to an end, she'd suddenly kick the sand in front of her as opposed to firing her bow, the traps activating mid-air as spiked shots of energy flew at Elyss from the thinly veiling cloud of sand, and within the confusing cover she would begin firing arrows. She would try to push Elyss to take her seriously; she didn't want a half-assed fight.

Elyss rose a brow, pondering Liltotto's words as the scene before her was forcibly changed. With miniscule movements, she weaved between the flagrant energy that tried to pierce her. The traps were easy to read in terms of how they moved. Energy isn't something so easily adjusted after being molded, and it is that principle that allowed Elyss to raise her Zanpakuto and deflect the flying arrow. More came after it, and once again, Elyss found herself having to weave her way between shots, her eyes focused on nothing in particular thanks to the sand.

"I'm not underestimating anyway. I've never been one to apply myself without due reason."

That's the truth. In every fight she's entered, she's always had a knack for feeling out of her opponent first. It's her way of figuring out if going all out is even needed, but if Liltotto wants a bit more from the redhead head, it'd only be fair to give it. One swing of her Zanpakuto upwards, and a strong gust of wind exploded foward, revering the cascading sand in Liltotto's direction. A sudden glimmer followed; a flying sword hidden by the sand thrown right at Liltotto's head.
