Aria barely had time to recover her footing before the panda she had landed on joined the fray, claws swiping down at her. She jumped to the side as the bear charged with a roar, the large furry mass barreling by and tripping over its feet into a front forward roll. She tried not to d'aww at it's cuteness- how were pandas so cute even when they were trying to seriously maim you? 

It recovered quickly, and from a quick glance backwards Isabella was quickly catching up by using a rope to slide down to the ground. The sounds of trampling paws had Aria leaping to the side again as the panda passed. Luckily for her the panda was limping, meaning that it was still relatively easy to avoid, but with the acrobat approaching it was going to be a lot harder to avoid attacks from both directions. What to do?

As the panda charged once again, she mentally facepalmed at the stupid plan that popped into her head. Then again, it was veeery tempting. And what was there to lose?

When Isabella's feet touched the hard ground of the circus tent, the illusionist had somehow managed to snag onto the bear's fur as it passed, dragging herself onto its back. It was rather comfortable for a second, before the panda realized what was happening. 

"[i]Hiiieeeeee-[/i]"

Aria's mostly panicked yet slightly excited screech shrilled through the tent as the panda attempted to buck off the woman clinging for dear life on her back who was trying to steer the panda in Isabella's direction. If her impromptu jig worked it would distract Isabella enough for Aria to hopefully stop the woman from trying to skewer her, and if it didn't it would at least tire out the panda and keep the bear and the acrobat focused on her instead of joining the large scary man with whom Estelle and Crispy were struggling with.
