Only a few words of the stupid fox's blathering got through as Kali figured out how to breath but she wasn't managing much without pain. She coughed trying to breath without a hitch to it. Flames licked close to her skin, giving her a soft glow almost, to ease the pain of her sides and limbs. Given time and the ability to move and do a proper assessment, the fire mage was sure she had broken bones needing mending. For now, the subtle flames would have to do. 

"[color=crimson]You're. Making. A. Mistake.[/color]" Each word came out as a huff in it's own sentence. She couldn't catch her breath enough to say them in more than one place. Breathing sucked, but the fact she kept trying and failing to get her up beyond being on her elbows was worse. It meant she had to entirely rely on her magic and that wasn't going to come as reflexively as breathing right then. 

She growled softly, grimacing despite herself as he forced her arms behind her back and wrists together. The fire went out the instant the cuffs clasped closed. Pain screamed louder in her body - deciphering which location hurt most was a task in and of itself so she didn't bother. She just glared more at the fox gloating over her. 

"[color=crimson]If -[/color]" She stopped and sucked in a deep enough breath to stop struggling with her speech. "[color=crimson]If you take me back now, you'll be playing right into their hand.[/color]" She drew in another deep breath, and released it slow. Everything still hurt, but she repeated the process again anyways. [color=crimson][i]Fuck it. Now or never.[/i][/color]

On the exhale this time, she spun herself around quickly to kick at Izu's feet and hopefully knock him down. If she managed, she planned to kick him hard in the chest. It would hurt her too, but if she could stun the bastard, she could get away to recover enough to break out of these stupid magic dampening cuffs.
