>You keep up the past and slash out at Meira's leg. She is already outdistancing your reach, but you feel the tip slide into her calf, and see her wince before's out of range.
>Like before, she continues to ride until she has some yards between the two of you, before turning the horse around.

>You would need a few seconds of concentration, at least. This isn't really helping your focus, there's too much dead time between passes where you're able to relax.

> Turn hard to the left, keeping an eye on Meira and her horse. We want to make sure we bank hard enough that we won't get run over, but not so hard that we run ourselves out of slashing range entirely.
