Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even with magic it still stung, and Romulus was shaking her hand out as she drew back half a step to look down at him, ready and on the defensive if he decided to retaliate.

Instead it seemed as if she'd managed to inflict more damage than she's thought, because he didn't get up right away.

Features incredulous, voice exasperated, she grumbled down at him. "Well no s**t. That's what it's supposed to do."

Romulus lowered her arms as he conceded, a mixture of disappointment and something else flickering across pale features. A moment ago it had been exciting, invigorating and tense, and Romulus had liked it. But now, it was over, and the dark mirror wasn't at all sure what to do with that feeling.

Or with the senshi holding a hand out to her to ward her back.

She chewed on the inside of her lip for a moment before running a hand through short hair and tipping her head to look away. "Fine, go then." She'd met her quota, fended him off, she was done for the night.

Taking another step back, Romulus frowned down at him as he rose slowly to his feet. "You'll try." He was still being snarky, even after she'd knocked him silly. Of course.

Annoying.

Not wanting to push her luck much more that evening, the girl decided it was time to make her exit. A glance up showed a fire escape within easy jumping range, and went for it, landing easily on the wrought iron. "Catch you later, I guess." As parting shots went, it wasn't her best, but she still wasn't sure how she felt about the way this fight ended.

Not good. That much she was sure of.

With a last glance down she hurried up the fire escape out of sight, sprinting across the roofs in the direction of a handily hidden mirror she could disappear through.
