NiGHTS was - barely - able to dodge the sword, her surprised laughter following. She was not afraid - she was rarely afraid. "This is more like it!" she laughed aloud, whizzing past Saïx, dangerously close in an attempt to catch him in a Paraloop. Without shapeshifting, NiGHTS had little advantage in this fight, she knew - but it was more fun this way, at least for now. She was no fighter, that much she knew, but she had cunning and trickery, should she wish to use it.

Right now, however, she was simply playing a game. Nothing more, nothing less.
