And it shall be our deaths to offer our backs to a creature capable of magic. It'll tire of playing cat and mouse with us eventually and take us down another way.
[ she narrows a look on the creature, watching for signs and signals that ciri has recognized through her last few fights as attack patterns. after all, this isn't the first one she's seen today and it certainly won't be the last she kills either. these things are nothing compared to the wild hunt. ]
And I'd honestly rather avoid being impaled a large chunk of ice or struck down with lightning. It would certainly sour this first meeting of ours, I believe. [ reaching down at her belt, she pulls her dagger free and holds it back to the other woman. ] Yet if you still believe it wise to run, then run and I shall hold it back. Take the dagger for your own safety.
[ if hannah takes the dagger or not, ciri quickly turns back and focuses on the monster nevertheless. she watches it's fur raise on end and feels that familiar drop of pressure in the air. there's the lightning, she thinks and takes off to put distance between her and the other woman. each strike nips at her heels, the booms almost deafening but it's left the creature open during its casting and she'll take advantage of it.
for her, each step is like a part of a dance and she gets up at the creature with nimble steps while avoiding it's powerful blasts of lightning. she's breathless but pushes forward until her blade finds purchase and cuts upward into the beast's neck. it doesn't kill it instantly but it doesn't have much time and nor do they because it's hard ignore the loud growls seemingly raising up from every corner.
