Mira took the grappling a little bit worse than she had the swords, but eventually managed to counterattack.
And what she did?
What she did was grab Hevn by the shoulders and push him backwards with more force than the petite body should have contained.

Hevn hit the ground and spat dust out, climbing back onto a pillar. He sat there, looking down at Mira, thinking of what had to be done. To fight an elemental, in a body he was unfamiliar with? He couldn't wait till he was grown and out of this child's skin.
The problem with being a discarded angel, he imagined, was that neither heaven nor hell would really get his back. So it was all him.

"You're older than this, aren't you? Not used to fighting with the body of a child?" Mira whispered into Hevn's ear, appearing behind him a few seconds after the throw; her eyes a vibrant hazel for a second. "I guess we match. I keep having these memories of a place that doesn't exist anymore and hasn't for thousands of years."
With that, her eyes faded back to blue, and the cold-eyed Twilif attempted to stab her dagger directly into the uncovered back, looking a bit bewildered at why she hadn't stabbed him already.

"Yes... I am. And no, I am not used to it... these limbs are so short, so weak. Fragile." Hevn spat in the dust, shaking his head, unafraid that she had appeared so close. He almost seemed to shrug it off.
Perhaps if the Twilif could tell that about him, there was something worth noting about her, as well. Perhaps she would prove a valuable opponent more than just this once. Having someone to fight was an important asset for Hevn. Especially if she could fight back so capably. "I wouldn't know about thousands of years, I don't know how old I am. Old. But new to this world, relatively."
Hevn, his eyes dull, simply twisted away, dropping off the pillar. He grabbed onto the pillar's lip and used it to swing to the other side, reaching up at Mira's ankle to try and make her lose her balance.

"I don't know where I came from...but I've had much practice in this world, and it is nothing like the one I have flashes of," Mira commented as she fell to the ground, reforming right before she hit.
But it had done a bit of damage-she was a bit more transparent than before. It seemed her transparency was a health meter of sorts, which was odd; but not too odd.
With a whisper, she appeared to become smaller and younger; but clouds formed around Hevn, smothering him, choking him. And was that a picture of a human that Hevn would see?
Yes, it was, a petite girl with brown hair, pale skin, and lovely heterochromatic eyes. But it was only there for a hundreth of a second before the image flickered out and the clouds began to press into the male Twilif's mouth as he attempted to breathe.

Hevn took his daggers out and pushed off with one foot, spinning through the clouds and cutting them apart with his little tornado. His jump took him up to the top of a pillar, but instead of landing on it again, he descended towards Mira in a whirlwind of blades, darting away as soon as he was close enough to have made contact with one of his weapons. Try to suffocate him, perhaps? Was that what those clouds were? Hevn shook his head, rustling the feathers. He had seen the image of someone he did not recognize, but it mattered little to him.
All he could think of was Corwin. Was he alright, fending for himself? Hevn shifted his weight, thinking of Corwin, his blades at the ready.

Thankfully for Mira, the area the blade hit was where she had been cut in the beginning of the fight. It passed right through her body, and the brown-haired Twilif floated towards her fellow sparrer, moving as fast as she could.
And as the blade touched his chest and sliced across in a hit (deeper than normal, but not a deep cut), Mira was inclined to ask, "Do you have any people precious to you?"

Hevn looked down at his chest and watched the blade slice. Another wound, no different from his others. It stung a little, bled a little. He touched his fingers to the wound and remembered suddenly how Corwin once cauterized a wound of his. Hevn looked at Mira and brought his bloodied fingers up to his mouth, licking it off with his tongue, his blade still clutched in his hand.
Hevn had no answer for her, but replied with a question of his own. "Why? he asked, twirling forward again with his curved daggers.

Mira performed a backwards leap with absurd grace, avoiding the daggers easily. "I don't need a reason," her quiet voice stated as she leaped for her enemy.
"All I need is an answer."
And she attempted to plunge her dagger directly into Hevn's chest, not where it would slice anything important.
"For I have none," she whispered, her face a few inches away from the boy's own.

"If you have no reason," Hevn began, "then I have no answer for you." Hevn emptied his heart and made his indifference true to the bone. What good was a warrior too concerned with love to keep calm? Though being calm was not his problem; perhaps his fault was being too unconcerned. He didn't care if he was injured, or if this body broke. He just didn't care. Fighting was an emotionally uninvolved exercise for him. This fight was a warm-up.
He stepped back again and avoided Mira's dagger, making no move of his own. He simply watched.

"Nobody ever has answers," came the answering whisper. "But I don't want to know the answers anymore."
And she attempted to do the attack with the clouds suffocating her enemy again; hoping it would work better than it had last time.

Hevn laughed, then, a piercing sound coming from him. "You don't know what you want. Just because I do not think you deserve an answer does not mean I have none." And then his air was cut off by the clouds, and it was true, he couldn't breathe. He still smiled and took his time there, breathless, until he started to see spots. Then he used his whirlwind again, pushing up onto half a crumbled wall. He looked across at her, shaking his head. He longed for Corwin's company, grew suddenly bored of this fight.
As far as a fighter's morals went, Hevn preferred those who fought face to face, who didn't relish in aiming for the back or conjuring up tricks that were unseen. All the same, he supposed that was what she could fight with. He shrugged and dropped off the wall, shook himself loose and came at Mira so lightly it was almost like flight.

As she twisted out of the way, Mira giggled, an odd sound coming from the cold fighter. "If I had answers, I wouldn't be here. I might still be in the place that I once was."

Hevn found her last statement of very little value to him, with no real place for him to respond, so he remained silent. With the back of his hand, he swiped some of his own blood up and painted it on his face, rubbed it through his hair. It was possible to see where he had probably done this before, or where he had rubbed others' blood, potentially.
Everything he did now was automatic to him, thoughtless, routine. In his mind he was somewhere else, occupied with the past. He would continue to fight her, but the movements were ones he had fixed firmly in his mind. Combat styles, poses, stances... things that he could barely remember if asked, but moved into naturally. He walked forward at a normal pace and darted forward suddenly, slicing in a diagonal arc.

Mira took the hit quietly, the blood seeping out of the cut fading to transparency. And she leaped over Hevn in a flip, stabbing from behind with the ever-familiar daggers.
