Kallista was crouched low, watching Li with a narrowed eye. Her tail tip continued to flick, and she waited for any sign the cat was about to make a move. When Li crouched down, she tensed, and when she leaped, she made her own move. She jumped to the side, but only barely made it. She felt a small nick in her shoulder as Li went by, and a small bit of blood began to trickle down. But it was definitely a lot better than what could have happened.

She turned to face Li, a small grin on her face. "Weren't expecting that, were you?"

Round: 1/?
Attempt: Dodging
Defense: idk does dodging count
Injuries: one eye

As Li spoke, Kal bristled. How dare she bring up the fight with Imperia? Growling, she resolved to stop dodging in this battle. If Li wanted her to actually fight, then fine. She'd fight. So as the hybrid leaped at her again, she prepared herself to leap as well, wanting to meet her midair. She jumped, and collided with Li, a bit later than planned. But it happened all the same. Now to just injure her some before they fell...

Round: 2/?
Attempt: leap at li and meet her midair
Defense: -
Injuries: small scratch on shoulder

Kal heard Li yelp, and grinned briefly. She then waited for Li's attack while trying to figure out what she would do. But when nothing happened and Li growled, she took the chance. They were approaching the ground fast, and she had to make a quick decision. So she called upon her own magic, a certain spell in her head. It wouldn't injure her much, but it'd at least administer a small shock.

It worked just as they landed, with Kal managing to stay upright and pinning Li, just as the crackling electricity flared to life. At such a close proximity, parts of it got to Li.

Round: 3/5
Attempt: shock her
Defense: -
Injuries: small scratch on shoulder

Kal knew what Li would do, and quickly jumped off before she could, not even giving Li a chance to do it. Her tail lashed as she glared at Li. "What was that about me being a coward?" By this point, she felt like the battle was just about over. She wasn't really sure what else to do.

She decided she'd just walk over to Li and declare this battle as over. There was nothing more that really needed to be done. It was all completely a pointless thing anyway. "Why are we still doing this? Come on, get up. This battle may as well be over."

Round: 4/5
Attempt: nothin rly bc i want Li to win oops
Defense: idk man getting out of her way ig?
Injuries: small scratch on shoulder

Kal should have expected this. It was clear Li wasn't ready to declare this battle over. She should have attacked or...something. But no. She tried to end this peacefully. And now she got a blast of heat in her face. It reminded her of her battle with Imperia, and the thought seemed to trigger something within her.

She jerked back, away from the flames. But burns lingered on her face, and she let out a yelp. The eye socket where her eye had once been began to ache, and she let out a whimper. In the pain she was feeling, she felt a surge of anger toward Li and glared at her before beginning to lash out, hoping to get her at least somewhat.

Round: 5/5
Attempt: blindly lash out
Defense: -
Injuries: small scratch on shoulder, burns on face
