MABEL
Mabel had no intentions of admitting she didn’t have many friends – because it sounded a bit pathetic, even to her ears and thoughts. While the rest of the Ascended seemed very capable of clustering together, she had somehow lost the ability, still inclined to traipse around the edges and hope no one noticed her. Not until it was too late.
The caution was there, but it also sounded like permission to the youth. To continue practicing as she had. And then finding someone, something, adequate to enhance the power and skirmishes. Her only indication of surprise at the following comment was a widening of her eyes, and then a nod of acceptance and compliance. “Okay,” she consented; before it all began again.
Expecting a block, a defense, something to sink her teeth into – there was naught but movement. A rush of air, a maneuver of evasion, before Aurelia came forth. Mabel could only become an echo, pivoting, twisting, turning in the shadows, in the moonlight, where speed could be her ally. A swiftness, inhuman and eldritch, clutched over her, and the dagger missed her shoulder by inches – so that she could resound forth, and try to angle hers towards the other woman’s hip.

Let's go to war to make peace
Let's be cold to create heat
