Ophelia Noella Kaides
[@Silver Carrot]
[hr]
There was silence across the coliseum, and silence from Ophelia as the weight of the events that just transpired settled over the air. Nobody knew what to think. Nobody dared to make a sound. Had it truly just happened? Sherry yielded to her half-sister? Her half sister who could barely walk or strain herself without getting violently ill? Surely all she'd need to do was simply...avoid engaging and wear her out during the duel to claim victory.

The fight barely lasted a minute.

"...what?" The silence was first broken by Ophelia herself. "That...you...you serious?" She'd step away from Sherry, a mildly perplexed expression. "That...that was too easy..." The words left her mouth before she could think about what she was saying really. "Is this [i]really[/i] all you can do, Sherry? Or under that facade of yours you're just that pathetically weak?" She'd inhale, gritting her teeth, tone of voice raising slightly with each word she spoke. "You...you better not just be taking pity on me-" She was interrupted by a slight coughing fit, immediately covering her mouth with her hand. She'd take a few deep breaths, her voice slowly returning to its usual quiet, stilted and muted tone.

"...whatever. If you are I'll take it." She'd say, wiping her mouth and looking away from Sherry. "But next time, I expect an actual contest." So Ophelia would turn to leave, not sparing a word for Sherry's response if she even had one as she'd step out of the Arena.
