Haytham had been Elissa's sole focus before Connor's arrival and now the darker, younger man was the target of her madness. All of her earlier talking and talking and talking had been replaced with growls and snarls. If she had use of both arms and both of her weapons, she might have had at least a slim chance against the pair of seasoned fighters, but with her longsword 'Starfang' a few yards away on deck and her left arm hanging useless, she was doomed to eventual defeat.

Unfortunately, in her current state of mind, that was not a consideration. She was now like a wounded, maddened animal, striking and slashing at Haytham's sword when it approached as she tried to get closer to Connor with her poisoned dagger. As she was busied with parrying the elder Kenway's blow, she was rather easy prey for the younger one.
