[ she's known that voice for her entire miserable life.. ]
Fuck-
[ something in her brain- harrow's brain- screams to duck, and gideon doesn't think twice. (she usually doesn't, in fairness. thinking twice is how you get stabbed.) she throws herself flat on the ground just as the first skeleton whizzes safely over her head - regenerating ash, harrow's memories supply, of course it wouldn't be that easy.
from there, her left hand pushes down hard, hard enough that her shoulder screams in protest, and she rolls to the side while slashing out the new skeleton's tibias. it's painful. it's inelegant. it's, if nothing else, kept her arms intact. but more importantly, it means she has to get up now, with these spindly legs and wussy arms and muscles that someone's refused to work on like the jackass nerd that she is.
it means that one last surprise attack should be enough to seal the deal. ]
