[ Subduing without killing — especially against someone who can, and very much wants to kill — is like fighting a losing battle. Or, that's exactly what it is; the likelihood of her winning in hand-to-hand against someone much bigger than her has never been high. The fact that he twists out of her grip without too much effort is proof of that, if nothing else. There's no way she'll win this fight alive, which means she needs to find a way to make him stop on his own.
She needs to dodge, and not block; her body gets it instinctively, tries to move in a direction that doesn't grant him any more movement ( a grunt escapes through gritted teeth, adrenaline pumping in her veins ). So she's moving forward, trying to use her upper body to push his back up against the ground again. ]
Snap out of it! [ A mix between an order and a plea, because there really isn't a lot she can do — aside from go back to what was working. So her hand moves straight for his, for no other reason to attempt to lace their fingers together again. Only this time — if she manages it in the first place — she's the one holding on to it like a life line. It needs to work, otherwise she's probably doomed here ). ]
