Well, now or never. If she puts this off any longer, the pain will just keep on increasing and increasing and increasing, so June's pretty sure she's only got one (maybe two?) shot at this.
After the giant becomes airborne, June lunges forwards, then uses that momentum to take a few more steps forward. So long as the giant was aiming directly at where she was then she believes she can get behind the giant before her opponent touches the ground. (She can, after all, move twice! as fast as humans should. So she feels pretty confident in her ability. Well, maybe a little bit slower than twice, due to the pain and the headaches. But still pretty fast, she thinks!)

Once she's confident the giant won't land on her, June turns around, and starts looking for the hole on the back...and she reaches out and tries to stab into it.

Also, she fails to get any witty banter out this time.

What follows is a series of events that an outside observer would swear was a conspiracy between the two of them. June steps out of the way just in time for the giant to miss her, landing right in front of her. The second the giant's feet are on the ground, June's lunge plants the rapier squarely in his back with a satisfying shunk.

The giant lets out a pained groan and slowly falls forward, landing in the dust in front of June.

The crowd falls momentarily silent, as the implications of June's actions slowly sink in.

Then someone starts clapping.

Several someones, actually.

A lot of someones.

Almost as many as are cheering June's name now, at the top of their lungs.

Not quite as many as are now actively throwing flowers and coins into the arena, though.
