[Feet light on the deck, she stepped back a moment, sword in hand and eyed the girl. Good reactions. Left herself open, sure, but her recovery was good. and the handspring was impressive. Haruta could respect someone who put that level of movement into their weapons battles.]
[Since the girl went defensive, Haruta took no time now to move, feet light as she stepped in to close the distance. A simple move for now, swinging at the staff itself. Intending to do a few hits and swings, to see how well she blocked on coming attacks and what she would do to break them.]
[First hit aimed right for her staff, the second coming from left, then a right, and then anything to meet her blocks until she found her opening to return fie, or back off.]
