Well, this was turning out to be a fight full of surprises! The shorter of the two kept her eyes peeled as she watched her opponent reveal his arm, discard his cloak, and reveal his true species. Enkidu, another Enkidu! Gwyn couldn't be anymore excited than this!
That is, until the language lesson. The only thing that could match her thirst for power was her thirst for knowledge, after all.
"^|`\,'/|''~<`|!" she repeated as her sword parried the blow, their clothes fluttering from the force of the impact. Then another sentence, similar to the first in such a way she realized what it meant before he even explained this time. As his sword fell, Gwyn brought her attention to the right, her long sword swinging upwards to deflect the spike. By now Gwyn was pumping all of her anima into her muscles just to try to keep up, a task that was growing harder and harder as the sharp point of that spike ran across her forehead while she forced his arm upwards, slicing through the skin with ease. "^- ^|`\,'/|''~>`|!"
The last lesson came at a rather unfortunate time, as her sword had already forced that arm upwards, right in time for steam to shoot out about face-level. Her forehead felt like it'd been shoved into a fire, though luckily her eyes had managed to squeeze shut before they were just as burnt. If he'd managed to hit her whole body with that... well, she wouldn't die, but she'd surely be unable to move for days. She'd felt worse than a steam burn, though! This was her chance!
"^|`\,'/|''~<`|!" Gwyn called out, and her sword came from the left, just as she'd said. She'd taken on some sort of unusual attack though; instead of swinging to maim, she was using the blade to force him into her previous position, and her in his. She reinforced her right arm with everything she had as she gripped his discarded weapon. "^|`\,'/|''~BOTH!" Both swords swung out at him now, with overhead swings from either side as Gwyn pushed forward; she hoped for him to parry them both, only to take a tackle from her and force him off the side of the ring she had been standing next to.
Damn it, she wanted to fight him with all her tricks, but she had to save them still... but, maybe, just maybe, she could find him after all this, and get the real fight she wanted!
