Nora starts to laugh at "genehanced," remembers she's in a fight, and promptly falls for Loken's feint. What she doesn't do is fall down, as a set of different reflexes take over in the split second she has between realizing her mistake and getting hit. Dropping Magnhild, she stops Loken's thrust by wrapping both hands around the blade the way someone more sensible than Nora might have grabbed the shaft if he had been armed with a spear. Once again, she hisses with the pain of the injury she ought to be suffering.

This has the unfortunate side effect of pushing her several feet away from where her hammer fell, because she weighs next to nothing and a lunge from Loken comes with a lot of momentum. Man, she should really have had a Gravity Dust return system built in when she got the chance back in Atlas. Nora releases the sword blade and lunges herself, in her case to recover her weapon. At least she's close to the ground.
