Edy glanced down at Bobi for a moment, and then simply shrugged. Bonded though they might be, Bobi was free to make her own decisions. With a flick of her stub of a tail, Bobi scaled one of the nearby trees in a fluid and graceful movement, laying down on the bough to watch.
Keeping her own hands at her side, though mirroring Zariah's position otherwise, Edy's dark eyes snapped immediately to the locket. She couldn't see the insignia etched onto it, and wouldn't step closer to investigate. If this was a ploy, Zariah had to know Edy wasn't so stupid as to bring herself within such easy reach. Watching as it fell low on Zariah's flat stomach, Edy listened to the instructions and nodded.
With a grin, Edy suddenly spun and darted away as quickly as she could. For her plan to work she needed to place as much distance between herself and Zariah as she could. Balancing distance with time, after a few moments she spun, thrusting out a hand and shooting what was meant to be an enclosed circle of fire at Zariah. The intention was to surround the head in a blaze too large for her to get her way out of, and to be far enough away to avoid magical retaliation.
