[The moment she feels the touch, she spares a quick glance behind her before she attempts to shrug the hand off. It's a brief move that she does in tandem with another solid kick toward his midsection. She doesn't want to use hexes against him if she can avoid it. Rather, she'd much prefer to simply test his own concentration when it comes to the power he never told her he had.]
[She's quick-thinking as well. He brings his power down on her knee, lowering it, so that she just hits him glancingly in the thigh. He has to concentrate on that, though, so he loses that grip on her shoulder; moreover, his intense concentration has caused him to forget about his fighting stance, about moving around.
He next pushes her backwards using that power, again trying to gain a bit of distance.]
[Wanda can feel the pressure of his power keeping her from hitting him hard, and the next push sends her stumbling backwards. Regaining her balance quickly, she decides that perhaps a more solid offense is in order. She's shown enough that she can counter someone and hold her own...that she can stall.
She summons another hex to her hands and sends a blast of power at Edgeworth, certain to hit him harder than any of the previous times.]
[And he tries to dodge - tries to bring his power to bear - but it has absolutely no effect upon that burst of light. It hits him full in the chest, and his leg twists and he goes down hard, falling on his rear end; it's only because of his training that he doesn't break his fall with his wrists.]
Ah -
[And then he shakes his head and holds up his hands.]

All right. Enough.

Of course.
[She holds out a hand to offer him help up.]
You fight well for a lawyer, but then you're not just a mere lawyer, are you?
