[ There are a lot of reasons why Mordred could be displeased with Gray right now, so Gray won't attempt to puzzle things out. She needs to devote all of herself to the simple task of survival. When she was young and all she wanted to do was die, a gravekeeper managed to teach her how to survive instead — a powerful conditioning that crowds out her fear and sympathy alike in the present.
Mordred launches herself forward. Something feels wrong about how wide Mordred swings her sword, but Gray doesn't have the luxury of ignoring it. Her scythe whips to deflect Clarent along the hard curve of its blade. It means she isn't expecting the kick to her chest, and she goes tumbling backward with a punch of pain.
Still Gray rolls fluidly to her feet, and wastes no time rushing back in to go on the offensive. Her scythe whirls at Mordred in attack after attack, quick and dexterous in her hands as she gambles on trying to overwhelm Mordred enough to prevent a counterattack. That said, Gray's fighting style is as honest as she is, lacking Mordred's raw force and trickery. ]
