What with the blow she had gotten just moments prior, this was certainly not welcome. Neither was Lidya in her own suprise pouncing upon [i]her[/i] instead. Luckily, Poppy saw her last second, splitting her body to allow Lidya to jump right through. Or perhaps unlucky, depending on your perspective. "Lidya, Lidya, burning bright," she cooed towards the lioness in an attempt to calm her, although she kept her eyes fixed on one person and one person only amid the chaos. Her hands detached at the wrists and flew forwards, seizing a hold of Lute's ankles and pulling them back towards her - as she herself began running forward after the Virtuoso. He had given himself a head-start, sure. But she wasn't going to allow him to keep it if she had anything to do with it! She span in the air, aiming a flying kick at that mermerisingly fluffy head of his...! --- [img]http://i.imgur.com/ylO8F8C.png[/img] [b][u]Big Top - Air[/u][/b] Moira was once more reduced to grasping desperately at Max's hands, trying to reduce the extreme pressure he was forcing upon her. It felt once more like her stomach was being crushed, like her heart was going to burst from her ribs thanks to her curse. She coughed. And yet, thanks to her armour... she could still breathe. A small smile spread across her lips. "Sure I'm too dumb..." she whispered. While ordinarily her whispering was loud enough for anyone to hear anyway, it was carried away by the air which whipped around them. The smile spread as her grip tightened - her gauntleted hands digging into his flesh. "COURSE I AM TOO DUMB!" Moira bellowed suddenly as she whipped her head up to lock her gaze with his, her arms suddenly switching position from pushing to [i]pulling[/i]. Pulling his arms apart, twisting as she went. "AND YOU'D BETTER FUCKIN' HOPE YOU'RE DUMBER THAN ME!" And with that she drove her head back, before driving it forward with alarming force to hopefully meet with his.
