[Curiouser and curiouser.

The wings curl around her as black eyes narrow on him. There's a gentle tilt of her head in response to the greeting. Can birds be possessed by eight balls? It would certainly come in handy - no one would suspect the bird.

So, with a little beat of her wings, she hovers - slowly approaching him.]

[Nageki stays as still he can while he hovers over the ground. He keeps a wary eye on Darcy, but his suspicion is lessening as more and more time passes without an attack.]

[sorryitasedyou]

[And that's when she strikes, swinging forward - attempting to catch him with the tip of a wing. A she fakes left and actual veers right situation. While his suspicion lessons and hopefully his guard, as well.]

[mourning_ghost]

[Nageki can see the wing as it swings towards him, but he still can't get out of the way fast enough. He is a bit stunned and falls. He quickly resumes flapping his wings to slow his descent.]

[sorryitasedyou]

[Deep down, Darcy is mortified - or will be later. She's not a violent person, but it's not exactly like she has any say in what the eight ball is doing. It hovers lower, watching the descent - assessing injuries to see what the bird might do next. Because if it tried to run off, there'd be a whole new game of chase.]

[mourning_ghost]

[Hopefully the eight ball is enjoying itself because Nageki is definitely attempting an escape. He mostly feels winded, so he can still move around and landing has helped center him. He has no weapons to attack with and wouldn't even know how to use them if he did so he doesn't have many options. He can mainly chose which direction he tries to flee. In this case he's attempting to fly down the hallway away from the possessed human rather than up near the ceiling.]

[This was turning into far more trouble than it was worth for such a small prize. One more attempt to catch it or knock it out so an eight ball could try to take hold before she'd give up and move onto her next target. Their time was limited, the last thing the eight ball wanted to do was waste it. She'd watched, banking on the idea that the creature would go up rather than down the hall - a mistake that could give Nageki a chance to escape if he moved quickly.]

[Nageki seizes the opportunity and keeps moving. He needs to get away and find someplace safe.]
