<.< >,> v.v ^,^!

From her torchlit corner of the arena, Ivory kept up her flimsy wand movements, watching the other girl intently from the corner of her eye.

Oh, so she was laughing, was she. No matter. It had been one technique of many, and she had many more where that came from. After all, she thought as she grinned evilly to herself. There was more then one way to skin ... a snake. Either way she continued it for a while hoping that the longer she kept it up the more believable it would be.

Stretching out her limbs a bit, she refrained from doing a few cartwheels and flips since obviously now was not the time. Instead she brought out a hair tie from her pocket and brought up her hair in a swift knot. Sure this revealed to all the slight almost woodland creature greenish tinge to her skin, but at this point it didn't matter. Let them think it was war paint or something.

Settling her stance a bit she commenced the scared girl look. Her eyes purposefully averting from her opponents gaze as if that alone was too much. She even did a few foot shuffles. Eventually though, the bar man came forward and it was time to begin.

Rolling her shoulders predatorily, and made her eyes as wide and confused as she could make them as she began to circle the other girl, prepared to let her be the first to attack...

SPOILER!!: Evelyn, mortal enemy ^,^

She had been so intent on watching the girl's every movement and trying to stop laughing that when she looked over to the side, she was surprised to see a woman standing there. When did she get there? And what was she holding? Whatever though. This meant that there was someone watching their duel, and she was all for making this duel as enjoyable as possible. Not that one person was a crowd. Two people if you counted the creepy guy saying it was time to duel.

Smirking, she straightened up and lowered her hood, revealing her dark brown hair made up in a ponytail. Can't have hair distracting our concentration now can she? Keeping up the shield, she slid her foot forward to take a step as she stared at the girl across from her, though in the back of her mind, she was making note of what was on the ground. Now why didn't she think of carrying shoes with her? It would have been a lot easier to duel without worrying about stepping on something now that she thought about it. But she did have a high pain tolerance. Probably wouldn't feel it anyways if she did happen to step on something.

Taking another step forward, she gestured her wand towards the Ravenclaw, now wondering what in the world the girl's name was, and smiled slightly. "Your move Shorty McShort Short." Yes. Let them make the first move. Make the first mistake. And be the first one to lose.


That is...until she heard that dreaded word. Short. Even when she thought it to herself it was in a disgusted matter. She was NOT short, she was vertically challenged and everyone else was abnormally tall anyway.

Unable to resist a small growl, she eyed the other girl completely. Hmm... she was barefoot...

"My pleasure, Big Foot..."

In the instant that followed it must have looked as if the young girl aimed the fiery tip of her wand at her opponents feet, but in reality she purposefully aimed at the spot of dirt directly in front of her toes.

"Confringo!" Making her voice forceful sounding as if she was genuinely out of control she pronounced the incantation, intending for the dirt and grass and leaves to explode upwards and hopefully distract her opponent not only with the surprise volley of earth but with the loud boom, enough ...

For her to slightly angle the tip of her wand in the next millisecond and cast a whispered Muffliato.

Connecting the wand motions together in an upward flick, she brought up her shield letting it flicker as she moved around light on her feet. "Protego."Let her think it was weak.
