Athos spares a moment of admiration for the quick reflexes of both men, but then the female vampire is coming at him, and he must leap out of her way, drawing his sword. There is nothing innocent about her now - she is a vicious thing, and fast, leaping away from the sharp edge of his blade like a cat. He cannot quite catch her, not when she lunges at him at every opportunity, only to dart back again before he can respond, but he drives her back towards Aramis in hopes that he can finish her off.
