> Is she showing any openings herself?

>The position is fairly solid one, if not quite an optimal one. With her reflexes, however, it may not be a problem. If she has a weak point, it would be just under her hands, along her leg.

>You pick up the pace some more, and are moving a bit faster than Meira now. She turns more to compensate, so that she is still facing you.

> What would such vulnerabilities be?

>Your back would be exposed, and one of your arms would be fairly useless. You're adept at using either of your swords with one hand, but the positioning would be awkward to maintain, which would likely leave you with openings.

>You take a one-handed grip on Roukanken, and move to draw Hakurouken again. As move to draw your companion sword, Meira darts in!

>You abandon your efforts. as Meira closes in. Your circling takes you directly from her path, though, and gives you the time needed to regrip your sword before she can adjust her path enough to close in, slashing toward your torso!

> Pull our sword across and do a vertical block like before, sliding one hand along a flat side of the blade to get more blocking power.
> When our swords collide, however, rather than simply absorbing the impact, use our new grip on our sword and the momentum of Meira's blade to push Meira's blade further behind us.

>You bring your blade around and manage to block Meira's attack, no more than a couple inches from your waist. However, she shows no inter in trying to force you this time, pulling her weapon back and taking a step away as you grasp your blade awkwardly. It's rather fortunate she did step away, as you are fairly open now.
