Masks 2

As Siren went in for the stab, you know? Maria didn't even look that freaked out. Her expression said less oh no! I'm gonna die! and more... God damn it. Not again. Oh. Was she on the ground-AAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!!

Maria had no idea why the thought of Abuela's tortilla's went through her mind. That must have been some more weird magic bullshit, but she kinda appreciated it? One of the nicer things to come back into Awareness on. As she noticed what the hell was happening, she tried to help! By shoving her blood in the right space, if it was close enough to move it without losing all the little Bits inside. Tricky one, blood.

She also like, didn't get up. Pushed some air down from the top of the cavern if it wasn't too far away to grab, but otherwise she put the two of them in, well, their own private bubble! All soggy and shit, Maria put her hands on top of Zil's, squeezing all friendly-like. "I'll thank you nicer later. Can't outrun her. So-" The bubble started expanding from them, "Think we need to focus her down. Gonna level the playing field now, so be careful, and maybe make sure these dorks keep'er off me, ok? Think Aura's got that helmet..."

Maria gave this sweet lass a quick squeeze, and then just. Zoned out, her hands folding gently over her stomach. She looked like she was going to astral project through the ceiling, but instead of doing that, she just focused on the basics. The basics, for this fight, being getting Siren as far away from the water as she possibly could. The bubble shot out from them, and without needing to focus on dumb things like shooting, strategizing, and keeping herself on two feet, she was free to do that a whole lot better! Time to stop being Coyote The Fighty Person, and develop this place into an arena they could actually go toe-to-toe with Siren in. Whoosh!
