Gideon Nav

Tally is fast, but she's still a beginner, and it shows. She telegraphs where she's going to strike—very deliberately looking at the place she wants to hit Gideon before hitting her. Gideon knocks the blow aside easily. "Your eyes give you away," she says. "I know it's kind of the opposite of what we got going, but you gotta work on not thinking so much. See the opening—" Tally's guard not quite back up, "—move." A strike to her unprotected side.
