The fatigue was starting to get to her.

With all the running around they'd all been doing without rest, there wasn't much chance to calm herself down and think things through. With shaking breaths, she swiped her arm across her mouth and forehead to get rid of any wayward sweat. Thankfully, there wasn't any sign of blood yet, but she still had to be careful.

"A trick up his sleeve?" Maggie parrotted, giving a haggard laugh while her thumping heart returned slowly to its normal beat. "If the guy's had his sword stolen, what more can he--"

The thing was on fire.

"... Suppose that's what," she answered herself. Even before she could attempt to move back in, one of the boys had rushed in ahead of her, planting down a Glyph and... bouncing with a cartoony 'boing'.

God, she must be more tired than she thought.

She barely even registered that he had made an attack for fear of latent insomnia-based insanity until her scroll began beeping, its tone slowly lowering to indicate a large drop in health. Looks like the heavy attacks work best on his head rather than the rest of his armour, she strategised to herself. However, she had little time to react to it before another worry forced its way in, being the same ally flying across the arena. Though he did erase some concerns with his bright response, the speeding sword was still a worry.

Despite another teammate running to protect him, Maggie went with him to raise her shield just in case the attack didn't work and in hopes of repelling the attack to an additional degree. While Berde gave a reply, she simply flashed a smile and was about to get back into the action when he began to speak to her.

"Then call me Maggie," she quickly responded, keeping an eye on the boss the whole time. It wasn't normally like her to be so stoic, but someone had to at this point. "We can save the proper introductions for later, I guess?" she remarked, glancing away for the single moment Ravanna had begun to swing. Again she raised the shield to support Berde's counter, though she couldn't force it back this time.

"So -- Hnng! -- you got the stagger this time, and we're in for the attack? Sounds good!" The plan sounded like it could work, at least. The question was if Berde had enough power to push the giant back...

... A question that was very quickly answered by the devastating headbutt delivered by the man.

"Now that's using your head!" she called to him when he'd landed. He seemed like he'd survive. Turning to Victoria, she grinned. "You catch all that, Halberd? We gotta get going!"
