[ There’s little further direction needed than that! With a grin that widens into something excited because this is a woman that enjoys a battle more than it being some practical, she yells out a general affirmative noise before spinning to deliver a kick to the creature’s chest. It’s immediately clear from the sound of the impact that she’s strong but it also sends the creature stumbling a few steps back with a cry. It’s just to give Quetzalcoatl a little distance to work, though.
Her (surely oddly shaped, to Hayame’s eyes) sword is held up low as she bears the shield forward, but she rushes closer and swings up in a practiced, elegant arc. It also makes the mechanics of the odd sword clearer. Blunt as it looks, it’s the shards of rock that form the blade, and they’re razor sharp. Her strength and their sharpness pushes through the thick, bony carapace, and she pushes up with a grunt to hold the creature up in place and use its weight to drive it down further onto her blade as she holds it up from its forelegs. It gives Hayame a much steadier target to shoot at in turn, even if the wound Quetzalcoatl has just created would be a more difficult shot. ]
