Their loss.
The female lunges, and Rinzler drops to the side, letting the swing of her chain-staff slice through the air just to his right. He rolls with the momentum, feet lashing out midflip to kick her underneath the throat as she curses, moving to adjust. She's fast enough to bring the weapon swinging back inside, tangling one of the enforcer's wrists as he comes back up. No pulling away, no gaining distance, and the look in her eye as she slides a knife free says she isn't planning to take risks again.
It doesn't matter. She's in position already.
Her body blocks the gunman's line of fire. They're trapped too close for either one to quickly pull away. And this threat wasn't the only one who pulled a weapon in the quick exchange.
Rinzler's baton hums to life, lightsword rezzed up through her hip and out her back, and the woman crumples with a scream.]
