FUUUUUKN LAAAAAAAME!!! Since when did her character, a life long assassin, become a little whiny bitch that can barely fight?!?!? Wtf did I just read? That was so out of character and waaaaay too dramatized. This was just dumb, author forced bullshit.
Edit: Whoa, Nelly! I'm not talking about her style of fighting, bcuz, yes, as an assassin, this is a little out of her element. I'm solely talking about her bearing and movements. The bearing, her fear and inability to move forward here, is waaay off the mark from the hardened, "if I die, oh well" mentality that she has displayed since chapter 1. She can't even get her footing, ffs. As a hardened assassin she has already steeled her own thoughts of death, up until this chapter, anyway. Also, assassins don't kill in just one way. They kill in the way that they have to, within the allotted time they have been given. You can't catch people off guard 100% of the time. Not every kill is when they're unguarded and asleep and in the dark. Sometimes you have to attack a well secured carriage in broad daylight, because it's the only option available in the time you've been given. My whole comment is about her inability to think on her feet and the fear that's running through her, nothing more, nothing less.
