The big girl's emerald hair was tossed to and fro in the thick, moist air, the moisture buildup seemingly weightless when faced with the energy carried in actions as simple as rolling her shoulders or bouncing upon the balls of her feet. [color=00a651]"You gotta look at the big picture, babe!"[/color] She continued jauntily, suddenly sinking down below even Chie's level as she shifted all her weight onto her right foot, hand propped upon the knee, as her long, long leg opposite bounced into a stretch of the hamstrings for one, two, three moments. [color=00a651]"We're the [i]distraction[/i]."[/color] The spot of green atop the tawny leather and hide rose and fell as she mirrored the motion on her other side, heedless of how it might seem improper in front of the lads present— her mind was on much more important things. [color=00a651]"That means we get to take center stage— and I've never known [i]you[/i] to hate havin' all eyes look your way~" [/color]she crooned cheekily, rising and pulling the white scarf free from her neck. Rising again to her full height, her arms blurred— to the view of the officers. Even at speed, however, the other girls' transformed eyes could quite comfortably track the biggest and admittedly slowest of the girls in "Team 5" ([color=00a651][i]so lame.[/i][/color]) as she very deliberately wrapped it 'round the Baeterran's simpering chin and neck. A gauntleted fist slammed deep into the palm of its twin, a dull thud resounding through the floor and even a ways up the outpost building as sternly arcane metal met sternly arcane leather. The Maiden of Mountains sported a familiar look on her face as her eyes met Crystal's. She was transformed. [i]Alive[/i]. One with All the Earth, as All the Earth stood behind her and her peers. The snow carver was right— she [i]did[/i] already know the answer. [color=00a651]"An' who does [i]that much[/i] better than Kheper? We're old hands at getting trouble sent our way— We'll have to see if they can even [i]keep[/i] up to begin with." [/color]
