--Well. So much for the "ten-fold".

However long she had been podded, Astrid wasn't extremely rusty herself. Maneuvering with relative ease on the field, putting some use of her short years of relentless training and dragon classes, the viking teen preformed rather substantially well under the circumstances of dealing with a different foe. ...Of course not above the level Samus achieved. Of course.

Notably, the only problem and concern she frequently faced was handling the foreign axe carefully, not with familiarity -- a thorough example shortly before the challenge of what lasers were capable of kept her watchful of the double-edged weapon she wielded. Promptly reminding herself there could not afford to be any 'miss swings' and such mistakes would not produce a mere 'cut'. She often found it touchy to preform her usual tactics and flips due to this fact. It might've effected her turn somewhat.

It must be remedied at some point.

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Astrid took her break, shooting back a dignified smile at Samus.

That was kinda fun.
