Trixie reveled in the success of her stupid plan, especially after Xandra ruffled her hair and dubbed her a hero. Any celebration was cut short however, as another scream resounded further down the path - a voice that could only belong to Don. With a sigh, Dylan suggested to split - they needed to keep an eye on their catch, but Don could not be trusted wandering out there alone in the creepy, buggy wildlife.

The prankster still held her tiny net against the molten leech monster all the while, her eyes mesmerized by its bubbling, goopy remainders. "Uhhh. I'll, uh. I'll stay here. To make sure no one takes our points, cuz that'd be cheating. And... uh... I dunno guys, I'm not good at pep talks."

Seeing that Xandra took off after Dylan as well, Trixie motioned for the remaining two girls to go after them, exaggerating her eyes and head movements. "It's coo' guys, I got this. Just, uh, just come back here when Superbro's safe and sound? Or, or, or call for me if you guys find anything bigger!" If either of the two girls offered to stay behind with her, Trixie would continue to roll around her head like a loony and beg them to go on - after all, they're just a bunch of [i]bugs,[/i] how bad could they be? It's totally not like the leech monster tried to melt them with acid spit or anything.

Trixie watched as the others charged off out of sight, before returning her attention to the subdued leech. She puffed her cheeks and repositioned her feet for an even firmer stance. "Down, boy! Down. S, stay. Staaay. ... Staaaaaaay..."

Something sticky tapped her shoulder - Amy turned to see mister macho sitting right behind them. With a shudder the cleric pulled away from Jeff, her twitching hand threatening to slap the gladiator across his bitch face if he tried touching her one more time. If anything she was more startled the monster of a man wasn't down in the ring with them, but she didn't bother to ask about it.

"Guilders, not traveling warriors," Amy said sharply, listening as well to the announcer's voice in the background. Of course their team was falling behind all the others. Of course. She wasn't even going to bother thinking how they would fare in a 'real' competition if they flustered around like this already. Her chin rested back in her palm, though she diverted her eyes from the battlefield. After what happened in Weir months ago, she still wasn't quite comfortable yet watching them dismantle wolves again. "Most of us are magic users. With that banned, I'm not too surprised to see things turning out the way they are."
