[ in some ways, she'd been waiting for that hit, expecting it, almost needing it; it reminds her that she can still feel something, even if that thing is pain blossoming across her jaw. she doesn't have time to really ascertain whether or not anything's broken, but she can still work it back and forth even if it might be a little tender to the touch, so that's a good sign. a broken jaw would really put a damper on her gift of gab. she's definitely already tasting blood in her mouth, familiar and metallic, tinging her smile red.
once she hears the sound of bone breaking, it's even easier for her to swerve in, swinging the pipe up in a vicious arc with enough strength behind it to send the soldier flying up off his feet and hitting the pavement hard. he's still conscious from what she can tell, now just gripping his broken arm and rolling in pain, and she promptly steps over his body, maybe even steps on his body on the way to lend a hand to the other guy.
what? maybe she's getting used to this whole fighting in pairs thing. ]
Could ask you the same thing. [ she gets down low to sweep the legs of one of the soldiers advancing on him, springing up and swinging down with the pipe toward his head. definitely hard enough that that one won't be getting up again right away. when she springs up, she flashes a broad grin.]
