BAD DOG NO BISCUITS

[Alphen once asked her if she had ever considered running from a fight that might potentially have put her life at risk. She had told him that she had never been in a situation where she feared for her life.

Fear is rarely a thing Beatrix has felt. Even in the present, she feels more agitation and annoyance than fear. Having someone not listen to her, in or out of sane state of mind, is downright frustrating. Whether that's Beatrix being foolish or arrogant is debatable. The thing about adrenaline is that most rarely even feel pain. Surely she'll feel the results of this exchange in the days to come.

Humiliating, honestly.

When his original plan doesn't work, he effortlessly propels her away, which results in her struggling to maintain balance atop heeled boots. Instead of fighting it, she coerces herself into a roll across the ground in an effort to snatch up her sword. If she can't get him to eat the rose, she isn't sure what the next best scenario is.

Killing him is not an option. She must find some other way to incapacitate him. Magic? Beatrix hasn't spent a lot of time practising with the spells she is most accustomed to, but she does have some tricks up her sleeve. Blind. If she can blind him, even for some moments, surely she can use that to her advantage. She has options. The radiance of her sword when she calls upon the light. The actual world's equivalent to white magic's Blind.

Beatrix chooses to focus on the latter.

Please work.

All of her concentration goes into it. This world is all about belief. In some ways, it's about faith. It's a relatively simple spell. All it does it cloak the sense of sight. It would provide her time to recover appropriately and perhaps even to get the upper hand against him.

She needs that. She's at a grave disadvantage.]
