She could feel the young woman relax under her touch, if even for just a moment, and Zerori felt as if she was that much closer to understanding why this woman was so afraid. Close… but still very far away. The sudden cry of what Zerori could only assume was fear or horror was the only warning she would get before her instincts saved her from nearly getting her head cleaved off by a… was that a sword?! Jerking back away from Rhapsody, Zerori called out to her, “Now hang the fuck on!” Yet even as she made her command with all the impact of a General, it was clear by the look in Rhapsody’s eyes and the odd form with which she swung her weird key sword thing that nothing short of giving her a good thrashing would bring her out of her own head.
Jumping away from a second swing, Zerori’s glare sharpened as she slid to a stop. Briefly, she eyed the sword she shucked into the ground but scoffed at it’s existence. She would get her answers later but for now she wasn’t going to bother with that hunk of junk! Reaching upwards, Zerori took hold of the hilt of her own sword that was nestled between her shoulder blades (and held there by only god-knows-what) before pulling it up and downwards just in time for her sword to clash with Rhapsody’s. Through the forest the clang and clamor of steel could be heard for miles.
With every swing Rhapsody made, the difference in their strength became clear to Zerori as she parried, blocked and dodged the woman’s weapon, “I don’t know what’s happening in that head of yours, Rhapsody!” Zerori snarled, finally having had enough of being put on the backfoot. “But it’s time to wake-” She rushed in, twisting her wrist as she invaded Rhapsody’s space and pushed one of the jagged edges of her sword into the rounded edges of her keyblade, “-the fuck-!” With her superior strength, Zerori violently attempted to disarm Rhapsody with a yell, “-UP!” If successful, Zerori would have managed to throw the keyblade up into the air and grasp Rhapsody by the front of her clothing, “LOOK at me!” Her voice lowered, almost out of desperation, as her expression crumpled to one of concern, “Really… really look at me, Rhapsody.”
