[ Gray is genuinely putting her all into her offensive; even if Mordred is handicapping herself by withholding her abilities, she's still a Servant and Gray won't forget it. So when Mordred begins to goad her, Gray takes it to heart. The roar of Mordred's voice penetrates her chest, putting a flame to her heart even as her expression grows steelier.
She isn't clever enough for mid-battle repartees, so she leaves Mordred's question unanswered. Instead she falls into a familiar trance of ringing steel and harsh impact. Her doubts and insecurities have long fled the stage, giving way to single-minded survival. As Mordred throws Clarent aside, Gray wastes no time trying to take advantage of that brief moment of vulnerability, uninterested in stopping to see what trick Mordred might be up to. Her scythe gets as far as biting into Mordred's shoulder before its trajectory is wrenched to a halt by Mordred's grip.
Gray's jaw clenches hard, her eyes finding Mordred's wild look over the shaft of her weapon. She knows immediately that she won't win any contest of raw strength, so she'll need to make speed her advantage. She pushes forward to try and headbutt Mordred sharply, an effort to loosen Mordred's grip. ]
