Oh, this was going to be fun. Nicky wrinkled her nose at the deflected spell, but was pleased that it had nearly caught the girl off-guard. "Couldn't think of a reason not to come? I guess that head is all hair and no brains, then." Nicky called back, continuing her slow movements around the dueling area. Her eyes kept darting from Maggie's lips to her wrist, hoping to catch the slightest movement of each.
Maggie's attempts at getting under Nicky's skin also had her attention, if only because they were amusing. "Oh, I wasn't talking about your face," she replied, eyes watching Maggie's hand. "It always looks like you just sucked on a rotten egg."
Ah! There it was! Nicky tried to step away from the nonverbal, but it clipped her in the back of the foot, causing her to stumble. As her knees scrapped the ground, she looked up with a glare. "Nice shot. Do you always look so constipated when you think too hard?"
So this was the game they were going to play. Nicky was down for that. Rising, she first cast a verbal featherlight charm on herself, somewhat out of need but also as a diversion. "But what I meant was that you look a little puffy. I heard someone was going around messing with people's potions and I just thought if you were on any regular medication..." She flicked her wrist subtly, casting a non-verbal cantis charm. "Someone messing with it might explain why it looks like you've gained some weight."
Almost as an afterthought, Nicky also sent a verbal calvario toward the girl. Mostly because she thought it would be funny.
