Now that he has her off-balance, Darkleer knows he can't waste this chance. For some people you draw out the battle, revel in it, try and show them you're better than them. Mindfang isn't one of those people. With each second she stays free, she has a chance to use that speed and cunning of hers to turn the tides of the fight. Redglare had done something smart when she had gone to take her in- destroy her fleet and wreck her chances of escape by taking an arm. The trial had been her downfall exactly because she drew things out.
Darkleer doesn't plan on making the same mistake.
Cuts can be healed, so he doesn't let himself stop moving. Ignoring the feeling of metal going along his arm, he lunges forward to try and get her to the ground. She might be quicker, but he has the strength advantage. It's just a matter of getting the chance to use it.
