[Karlach puts her hands up, nothing in them, trying to talk her down, but Clarisse comes at her with the knife again. On instinctive reaction, Karlach blocks with her forearm, diverting the blade by landing a blow against the back of Clarisse's hand- which of course burns her.
Karlach mutters another curse to herself. She's spent this encounter trying not to hurt her, but it's becoming more and more obvious that she'll have to.
Well, shit.
So she surges forward in the split-second afforded to her by Clarisse's shock, grips the front of her leather armor, lefts her bodily up -- and suplexes her directly into the ground.
She comes with her, too -- wraps her hand around the leather bracers protecting her knife-hand forearm and pins her to the ground, a knee across her other shoulder.
The blood from the cut on her face drips down like a molten raindrop, blessedly misses Clarisse's cheek, and sizzles in the dirt next to her.]
Easy, soldier. I don't want to hurt you, but you're making it bloody fucking difficult.
