Okay, so look. It'd been a hard couple of weeks and Olivia wasn't in any real rush to thrust herself back out into the spotlight. The one that was tournament magical activities, but....after A LOT of thought, she'd finally come to the conclusion that she owed it to herself to get the feelings out. In a safe, healthy way...far removed from her personal demons. And what better way to do this than exhaust herself in the duelling arena? The epitome of her "safe space"?

What made it more relieving was that apparently, her first opponent was going to be Charlotte Kettleburn, who'd she'd personally trained with for years now. Despite their differences and not seeing eye to eye on things, her fellow blonde was one of the best when it came to duelling and Olivia liked to think that she helped in upping her own game. Forced her to push herself in ways that she might not have normally. Sure, most of her peers had some duelling talent, but there was good...and then there was g o o d. Ego aside, she liked to think that she and Char erred on the g o o d side. It was to be expected, since they'd both dedicated themselves tremendously to the art of duelling. Even with her mental health issues, Liv used it as something that could center her turbulent mind.

Decked out in her black duelling gear, the lion lady moved into the center of the ring; grinning as she saw that Char had arrived at the same time. Good. They wouldn't be delayed, then. A friendly duel was exactly what the Healer ordered right now, and Liv wanted to get on with it. AND...because this was Char, she understood she could duel on a higher level than she usually did with other people. Char would match her, spell for spell. It wouldn't be so one-sided. There would also be no hard feelings.

"No holding back." It was shouted across the way, as Olivia bowed at the waist. She wouldn't be going with her usual strategies...because the blonde wanted to explore other types of magic. Still charms, mind...because that was what she was best at, but different spells in her arsenal. BUT FIRST......Feather-Light, to help with her legs and body. Casting that on herself with efficiency...she began moving around; using the space to her advantage. Char would do the same, and it was the smartest course of action. Olivia also understood that to get spells off on her friend, she'd need to be tactical. Distract and then perform. Distract...and perform...

Ahh, it wasn't too early to just go for it, was it? They were both Gryffindors here. There didn't need to be a buffer for them... But...where to aim...? That was the question. Hm. Actually...pointing her wand down at Char's shoes, she exclaimed "Micans orange!" taking a breath and concentrating before firing off a second charm just after. One she'd been practicing a great deal in her own spare time.

"Ebublio!" Hopefully, the sparks would pull her focus and allow for the second spell to hit home. That was the real goal, anyway.

SPOILER!!: Points Tracker!
