Maea
The lial was growing increasingly irate, judging by the sounds it was making. When it turned back to Maea she noticed the hind legs swell as its claws braced against the ground. It was the only warning she got - then the massive animal was shooting towards her. She Dart!ed out of the way, a mere foot to the left that saved her from gruesome injury or even death.
But now the lial was right beside her; instinctively she reached for a chakram that wasn't there, swore at herself for neglecting to invest in more weapons over the recent years, and but down on her arm again to summon bloodbane. Holding nothing back, she drew out as much as she could, quietly counting the times it could be used until she'd kill herself - and was relieved to see the animal stagger before it could launch itself at her again.
Shii's message came through, and she waved acknowledgement to Liam; she was down to one more use of the bloodbane as well, before she had to start healing back up. He'd better make this attack count - and she better not stumble the next time it came barreling her way.
