Thais did not hear Constans soft pleas for the fight to stop. Even if she had, it would have been questionably if she would have listened. Though at the moment, she was simply trying to defend herself from the sudden outpour of rage from the girl. This must be what happens when polite mage girls finally snap, she thought to herself. Her thoughts were quickly pushed away by an animalistic feeling to fight back.
She grimaced at the pulling of her hair, it hurt but she could handle it. Thais tried her best to block Beth’s fast, random striking. The mana cleanse was beginning to complete when Beth seemed to realize what was happening. In an attempt to keep her near to complete the spell, Thais grabbed at Bethen’s robes, gripping the fabric tightly. Her nails snuck through the fabric, possibly digging into Bethen’s chest. The timing was just so, that as soon as Thais had grabbed onto the other girl’s robes, Beth shoved her.
Thais stumbled back. A loud rip sounded as the front part of Bethen’s top stayed in Thais’ fist. The shove had caused her to almost trip and Thais had to do some fancy footwork to avoid falling to the ground. Putting out her staff in front of her as a block, Thais glared at Beth as she realized the younger mage was already casting a new spell. Thais was about to prepare a spell as well, but something demanded her attention.
A warning call in the near distance had rung an alarm inside her mind and she looked away from Beth. As her gaze landed upon Ashya casting, her eyes widened. What was the girl doing?! Where did she even come from? Thais barely had time to stumble back. The icy mist sped towards the fighting pair and she was only able to avoid the main part. Thais fell to the ground in a sitting position, her right foot and part of her staff had been frozen.
She was about to yell at Ashya for being completely unwelcome in the fight, when Bethen’s mind blast suddenly hit her. All of her thoughts disappeared and she slumped forward as if suddenly deciding to take a nap. The grip loosened on her staff and she barely was able to keep hold of it, as she stared blankly at her lap in a stunned daze.
