Huh!?

[ Of course it's not a game. It's combat - the kind of life or death situation she absolutely revels in, for better or for worse, and yet here Evan is telling her to go. Go where?

There's nowhere she'd rather be than facing off a powerful opponent here. Even if it's Evan - and better yet that it seems her own double has decided to make an appearance, too. If she can't even beat herself, then what good is she as a warrior? She can't turn this opportunity down. ]

I'm not leaving you here, dummy! We're fighting ourselves together!

[ or... they can run away from fighting themselves together. That would work too. But for now, she doesn't want to back down, doesn't want to quit so soon. She digs her feet in, tightening her grip around her greataxe as wild, uncontrollable magic surges around her and then seems to infuse her axe with some yet unseen force.

Her double, meanwhile, perfectly mirrors the movement, although her magic instead manifests as writhing, shadowy tendrils. ]

You don't know what your guy might do, but I know myself pretty well, you know! She's going to lash out with those...!

[ Which is why, as the frontliner, Juniper is going to bring herself to the front!! ]
