[ she'll certainly try!! she perks up a little at the smiling and the pat on the back. better than a punch to the face! just kidding, she's just happy to be useful. ]
Okay...... here I go.
[ she concentrates hard --- pulling the nails. it takes a couple of minutes, but the sign starts to lean over, groaning loudly --- causing the vakdir's heads to turn. she gives ciri a thumbs up, which is probably meant to be the signal. ]
[ That was a good lead-in, enough time for her to act. She's casual, strolling into the darkness down the hallway with her hood lifted high over her hair. The only thing visible is the spark of green from her eyes.
Steady, Ciri does not move until the Maya's thumbs up and forward she dashes in a streak of green, her form like a phantom - gone in a blink. ]
[ maya stays behind, magatama glowing, a bead of sweat slipping down the side of her face as it works. it's hard work, especially from such a distance, but one by one they start to come apart, and the sign leans forward, and forward -- the drone starts to drift that way, but the vakdir converge towards the sign, pointing their guns at it and looking for the source of the mucking about. they're not looking in the right direction, though! ]
[ She wishes she could handle this alone, take the burden and risk. There's a lot of witnesses and anyone like Maya and Ciri would stand out — but they're not the ones risking right now.
So, they compromise. Maya in the shadows, Ciri bending space and time to become all but a motion of movement. She regretfully leaves Maya out of her eyesight, her vision focused on the drones that begin to filter over.
Just once more. Ciri mutters to herself, darting behind the crowd. The finale would be enough to distract, if only she can strike - ]
[ the sign falls at last --- the vakdir narrowly avoid getting crushed and the rest of the crowd disperses in a panic. the vakir fire near the sign after it's fallen, searching for the target --- while maya has to take a breather from the exertion, slumping over. the stage is set for ciri, now all she has to do is strike!! ]
[ She's not too keen on timing — it's a tricky thing. What feels like hours to her could be seconds to another. When she slips in and out of a timestream, it's different here. Smaller options, less distance covered. But, what matters is Maya's determination. It's enough to make this task an easy one.
A dash of green launches from the ground and it's as if time itself slows. Precisely, Ciri launches her sword mid-air into one of the metallic drones. She groans as her feet hit the ground, the sparking and malfunctioning device falling limp. Luckily, the sign was enough to give her time to pounce once more — her exit back to Maya. An upward slice to the partnering device exposes wires and circuits before it patters into the side of a building and smokes itself out. In seconds, Ciri is all but a blur of motion back to Maya. ]
