Description: Watch the Goddess triumph over the witch in flying colors! (Winner: Ingrid)
It had been a while since Ingrid had last participated in the Neo League. Not since the previous season had ended and the new one had begun, in fact. Perhaps it was because the league hadn't known that she was still interested in participating, or simply because she had become rather inactive in the fighting world for a time, but no matter the case she was contacted and told to meet an opponent. The location given was the roof of Taiyo High School, a few hours after the school was released; or rather when it would have been had it been a weekday. Still, some clubs continue even on weekends, and there are various students milling about.
And of course this would cause some interest, the League representatives setting up cameras on the roof of the school, and so a small crowd of students have formed, standing near the edge and forming a makeshift ring. The Taiyo journalism club seems to be the best in attendance, cameras and notepads at the ready. Nothing like a spontaneous, as far as they're concerned, sporting event to brush up on and test their skills.
Ingrid herself arrives near the scheduled start time, the door to the rooftop opening and the enigmatic blonde stepping through, a light smile on her face.
Listening to Drake, Mignon had to do her best, and challenge the most, bestest, importantest people in the fighting circuit so that she could become, like, a person who's able to help other easier! Mignon's already happy enough to want to, and she has the drive! But while the mind is willing, the body is weak, and while it usually goes that way, Mignon will no way, no how, allow a weak body to get in her way! Because Mignon is just that sort of girl!
And as Ingrid steps out of the door to the rooftop, Mignon's already been there, but Mignon was also was prowling out and around late one night to find some criminals but the criminals didn't come so she heard that Ninon was supposed to do something like test a girl because Mignon kiiiiiinda just sorta peeked into Ninon's room and saw the reminder and saw it was really out of date SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Mental breath of air.
Mignon decided she'd do it and ended up tired after telling the Neo League and then as Ingrid arrived Mignon's nudged, half asleep and half awake, her eyes fluttering open .. but lazy and unfitting on a young woman like her! "Just a few more minutes ... then I'l-" NUDGE. "Okay, Mignon's getting up, Mignon's getting up!" Smiling as she bounds to her feet, Mignon bounces to one side, then the other, stretching and kicking off the ground, flipping forwards, and waving to Ingrid. "HIIIIIIIIIIIII~! Ms Ingrid! Mignon saw your picture and stuff and is helping a friend and Mignon wants to do this and help out and so Mignon needs to get better to! Mignon'll be your opponent today, isn't that great? YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" She bounces on the tips of her feet, the flashy lights about her also emitting a *PIKU PIKU* sound as she moves. Before she falls back and stands up, legs angling inwards .. for her normal stance. "So Mignon's looking forwards to lotsa fun!"
Her hair is also pink.
Ingrid may have unwittingly walked into HER DOOM.
Ingrid isn't as able to find her opponent very easily until she wakes up, but once she awaken an amused smile immediately forms on the young woman's face. "Hello." With Mignon giving an incredibly energetic wave, once her bout of laziness is over, Ingrid gives a polite curtsy. "Well! I certainly hope it will be as great as you're making it sound- I'm sure we'll both have lots of fun if it is. And we'll give these people a wonderful show, on top of that."
It seems she's dropping into a fighting stance already... but the introductions have just begun! "I see you're certainly eager to get things started. Perhaps after we're done we could talk? From what little I've seen you seem like a very interesting person." A smile, and then Ingrid moves into her own fighting stance, her body visibly loosening up as her arms fall to her sides, her form swaying slightly in a rhythmic pattern.
As Ingrid mentions it, Mignon blinks at herself. "Oh! I guess Mignon is, sorry! Mignon didn't mean to do that. Mignon is very sorry... Mignon doesn't hate you or anything miss, mignon just was tired! But Mignon's ALLLL better now, mhmmhmm! So we can talk before hand then. Mignon doesn't want to be a crusty 'ol fighter who doesn't even wanna talk!" Grinning, Mignon bounces out of her fighting stance and skips over to Ingrid.
The camera crew won't be too happy.
"Heehee. Mignon thinks that these things are kinda funny, but Mignon's been told that she should do it 'cause it'll help her. Mignon's not sure how fighting can help, but Mignon's sure it helps someone!" She bobs her head before spinning around once.
"Mignon is Mignon, and Mignon is happy to meet toodellee toodelleeee toodelee-YOU!~!" Stopping the spin, Mignon bounces out of it and teeters on a single foot, the other just in the air. "Soooo.. Mignon was wondering if you mind that Mignon is a witch ... Mignon is you know! You don't mind, do you? Mignon can't change that .. but don't worry, Mignon's a good witch!"
A light laugh, and the Norwegian slides easily out of her fighting stance. "Very well, then. Mind you that I don't have any qualms about fighting beforehand, and a little enthusiasm never hurt anything." When Mignon comes forward, Ingrid does as well to meet her halfway. Her head tilts a bit at the pronouncement of being a witch, and she shakes her head a little, "No, I don't mind at all. I have, in fact, fought witches before. The only condition I have is that you don't turn an interview into a commercial for a dating service." She then tilts her head a bit and asks, "Do you have a familiar as well?" Her head turns around in various directions before she seemingly gives up looking.
A moment later she seems to consider something, and then takes on a rather serious expression. "I suppose if you give me fair warning I should give you one as well. You wouldn't happen to mind fighting a Goddess, would you?" A sweet smile.
Met half way, Mignon stops a little early, bouncing to a stop, almost plowing into Ingrid. But she doesn't! Mignon stands there, hair bouncing as well as herself as she finds out that Ingrid doesn't mind! ... Unless she has an interview for a dating service. "Mm... " Mignon taps her head a few times. "NOPE! Mignon doesn't think she even knows of any dating services.. and you must of met that witch too then, she said she's help me be better at witchery to get peace with!" She bobs her head. Mhmm. Peace! "And Mignon doesn't understand what a familiar has to do with being a witch. Mignon's already familiar with witchery!" And then Mignon .. GETS A SURPRISE.
GASP. "Mignon .. Mignon has never fought a Goddess.. but Mignon is willing to! Mignon will try her very hardest for granny and sissy and all of the people of the world so that she can get better and get world peace for EVERYONE!" She smiles wide towards Ingrid afterwards. "Mignon's not going to stop until it's achieved, either, nope!" She crosses her arms, but smile stays, beaming holes through the weak objects of the world. "Mignon can't ever give up!"
Ingrid nods her head along with Mignon's words, "I suppose there could be little of her exploits that wouldn't give away Naerose's identity. She is, without a doubt, one of the more eclectic people I've met." The way she speaks this might make it sound a compliment. At all the talk of peace, Ingrid gives Mignon a bright, utterly friendly smile, "That is truly a wonderful thing to hear, Mignon. There aren't many people who are willing to give everything they have to make the world safe and happy for everyone as you do. I'm happy to tell you that I am a 'good' Godess as well, so you have nothing to fear."
She tilts her head a bit and ponders, before taking a few steps back and moving once again into her fighting stance, "Shall we test to see which power is greater: That of Mignon the Good Witch, or that of Ingrid, the Eternal Goddess?" Gabriel will probably have a nice 'chat' with Ingrid if she sees this footage, or so the blonde thinks.
Woohoo! Mignon's found a good goddess to help in her plight of peace for the entire world and then some so that everyone could live happily ever after in castles with princess and ponies an -okay that's too far. But the peace thing still stays!
"Mhmm! Naerose is going to help with my witchery!" Mignon nods again, extending her hands out wide. "Mignon's so happy to meet someone else who's good too! And who doesn't use bad words either! Mignon's only met a few like that!" Drake's the other, mhmm. And Mignon's hands come behind her back. "Mignon didn't want to fear you anyways, she wanted to make friends and do something for someone else too! So Mignon is very happy now!" And with Ingrid in her fighting stance, Mignon bounds into action!
Leaping backwards, she flips once, then twice, landing with her legs bending into that odd stance again .. explaining what it might be why she does that. "Mignon is ready for anything! Mhmm! Here goes Mignon!" Her hands come up like cat pars as she readily waits.

Use bad words? Perish the thought! Though it's not surprising that people in the fighting profession would be foul in the mouth- getting filled with pain tends to cause cursing, after all. "I'm happy as well. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of each other, once this is over. The paths of those that fight for good tend to cross often."
Things get a little more serious now, however, as the fight finally seems to be getting underway. The Taiyo students have mostly left, with a few die-hard journalists sticking it out. The others came for a fight, not to listen to the banter of teenage girls, they can do that whenever they want. The Neo League film crew, on the other hand, had no choice but to stay, and taking note of the fighting stances move back to being professionals.
The action doesn't happen immediately, however... Rather than doing something flashy or dramatic, Ingrid simply hangs back and watches Mignon intently with those red eyes of hers, waiting to find any sign of movement that can give away her moves, or perhaps show a bit of weakness. She's certainly not the type to rush in blindly.
COMBATSYS: Ingrid focuses on her next action.

Yes, bad words are ... quite bad! And Mignon knows this alright. "Mignon would like to meet someone like you again, because that means Mignon has help bringing peace to the world!" She's rather happy about it, incredibly happy! And as the fight starts.. no less airheaded and happy.
Sorry Ingrid, it doesn't have an off mode.
"Ooooh.. We're starting?! Mignon's ready for you, come and get Mignon because Mignon will be o-" She tilts her head as Ingrid stays on her side. She hasn't seen them stay BACK before. And Mignon is really in a pickle! "So .. does this mean Mignon goes first?" Mignon's gone first before, and it's not pretty. "Well since Mignon is first, then Mignon will give it her all!" And spinning about once, there is SPARKLIES, pikuing as she moves.
"Oh divine wind spirit~!" She cries, her spin stopping, and just like that, wind begins to blow, especially infront of Mignon, as a small windstorm is created.. small, before spinning faster, picking up speed, and roaring towards Ingrid who's on the other side! "Mignon's going to give it her all!" She cries, her hands raising up again, as the windstorm tries to pluck up Ingrid and then toss her into the air .. but mainly batter her with chi! It's not hot though, Mignon's not really full of hot air!

Ingrid smiles at Mignon when she realizes the fight is going to begin. A little laugh from her at the witches words, "Yes, I do tend to hang back from time to time rather than attacking immediately. I find it's much more to my favor if I get a feel for my opponent before engaging." She's an analytical fighter, plain and simple. While she can fight in other ways, it usually goes bad for her when she tries.
The wind that picks up suddenly is certainly cause for concern. Had she gone rushing in her reaction time to this would have been much worse. As it is she doesn't wait around for the wind to reach her and then pick her up off the ground, instead swinging her arm in a quick underhand motion once it begins moving towards her. Gold sparkles flow behind her hand, and out from it springs a brightly shining ball of golden energy which raises up as it moves forward, impacting the wind and seeming to cut right through it, and then slowly falling back down to earth- to the point that it'll hit Mignon about in the chest area if she stays where she is and doesn't respond.

As Mignon fires that divine wind spirit, she doesn't expect for Ingrid to swing her arm in a motion, and fire out a golden ball with sparklies. Mignon looks as it cuts through the winds and frowns. "Aww.. well you did you bestest wind spirit! Mignon will make sure she does better next time!" And this is about when Mignon notices the ball is still coming. "Mignon just KNEW that she forgot som-EE" It smashes into her, sending her reeling, flailing, and then collapsing onto the ground. With little stars and everything! Mignon pulls herself back up, shaking herself off. "Owww... Mignon didn't expect that.. but Mignon can't just wait around until she knows everything! Mignon might be too late!"
%t And having given Ingrid all the time in the world to prepare herself, Mignon flips towards Ingrid, extends a hand... then tries to land nearby her, and then strike against her feet!
Maybe it'll even send her tripping up, but Ingrid WILL hear. "MEoooooooooooooooooW~!"

Ingrid 0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0 Mignon
Ingrid wasn't expecting it to be so... easy to hit Mignon with the energy ball after it cut through the wind attack. Or at least, she was expecting the witch to dive out of the way or intercept it with limb or energy. Perhaps she doesn't have quite the combat experience as she'd thought. Certainly she doesn't suffer from delusions of grandeur- if Mignon can summon up bursts of wind surely she has fighting talent, so she isn't going to overly underestimate her. She could also be holding back intentionally to lure her into a false sense of security. ...though Ingrid would probably pick up on that if she tried it.
Mignon does seem to recover quickly enough, however, and gets in close, fast. Thinking she has the perfect bead on the situation, Ingrid leans forward and points, a disk of swirling energy forming in front of her, ready to intercept Mignon's strike. Mignon does not strike the disk, she moves down, low, and strikes Ingrid's feet, completely ignoring the defense. Ingrid gets rightfully smacked, and stumbles backwards, recovering her balance just in time to keep herself from falling. Now -she's- the one that's fighting like an amateur. A soft laugh, "Well done."
Oh it's hardly amatuerish. Mignon is like some kind of wild animal witch who works on feelings and thinking of things that just MAY work, so it's hard to predict her at times. Mignon, by no means, is a fighting legend. She, however, is a good hearted soul willing to do what it takes! And while Mignon doesn't ever downplay who she's fighting, her actions may make it seem like she is. Mignon strikes just like a cat! All things have worked out well, the little bauble smashing into her feet! And rising up, Mignon does it..
To continue the assault? "Mhhmm, but Mignon's not done just yet! Around around the mulberry bush~!" She sing songs as she begins to spin. Right towards Ingrid.
Ingrid would notice quite simply there isn't a single sparkly of chi, but Mignon's spinning with her baubles out, trying to catch Ingrid once, twice, maybe more with the strike, before she finally ends.. dizzy. If she does end.
"Oooh.. Mignon sees all kinds of Goddesses everywhere! Heehee."

Ingrid tries not to underestimate her opponents, but sometimes she does, and usually pays the consequences for it. Her underestimations, luckily, tend to be over details, rather than simply considering herself superior to an opponent. When Mignon continues her attack by spinning around, Ingrid attempts to quickly back out of the way, the relative speed of the attack overcoming her movement and battering her around before she drops, hitting the ground. Luckily she's rather spry, and turns the fall into a backward roll, popping back up quickly afterwards.
If she allows this to continue Ingrid may well place herself in a very undesirable situation. She landed the first hit, but that doesn't count for much if you can't land any others, let alone if you can't avoid getting hit yourself in the process. A look of focus sets on her features, and she leaps up into the air, trying to jump straight over Mignon and then land behind her, twisting around and kicking out with her right leg, attempting to plant a spinning sidekick right in the small of Mignon's back. It's a bit of a change up for her, she doesn't usually strike when she moves in, but then perhaps that's one of her failings.

As Ingrid rolls backwards as she focuses and then leaps into the air, jumping over Mignon and then twisting around to slam a spinning sidekick into her, Mignon's tossed forwards, "W-WOAH!" She cries as she stumbles, and crashes, into the ground. But Mignon picks herself up, afterwards, and brushes herself off. "Oowww... Mignon really wasn't ready for that.." But nodding, Mignon .. will never give up!
And in response, rises to her feet and spins around once. "Mignon likes, this, but Mignon's going to go hard now! Here Mignon goes~!" She cries out, before raising one of her hands .. and then pointing it towards Ingrid. Mignon IS a witch, so what happens next is fairly straightforwards. Not even thinking about what she's doing, mignon just internalizes that she's going to really try to make granny proud with this!
"FIRE!" She beams happily, before from her hands, a cannon like shell of a chi based ball erupts forwards! The fireball crashes forth, through the air, towards Ingrid, faster than normal!
It's going to explode afterwards, too. Mignon, however. "Owie... Hot hot hot!" She's flailing her glove. Fireballs burn!

Mmm. Fire. A ball of fire, in fact. Ingrid has no predisposition towards flame, one way or the other. Compared to other types of attacks, that is. The plain truth is, they all hurt. Her previous attempt at getting out of the way was a failure, however much like Mignon she isn't going to give up simply because she didn't do it right the first time. She bends down and then jumps high up into the air, leaping right over the incoming projectile, the attack shooting just under her feet as they raise off the ground.
And as she comes down, Ingrid strikes, suddenly leaning forward in her fall and swinging her right arm out in front of herself, a stream of glittering energy forming and falling with her- and from the looks of it she's aiming to land directly on top of Mignon, energy and all.

Ingrid 0/-------/=======|=======\=------\1 Mignon
As Ingrid strikes towards Mignon, Mignon looks on. "Oh .. Mignon doesn't understand why she's not doing too good.. but shell keep it up!" And then that's about all Mignon can do, the fist coming up, Mignon raises her hand. "WATER U-" And that's when the glittering energy slams into Mignon, sending her sprawling, rolling along the ground.
Collapsing, she eats the ground hard, laying there before she pushes herself up once .. then up again. And then finally bringing herself up once more.. "Mignon .. Mignon's still up ... Mignon won't give up yet...She'll do it!" And she's hurt, oh yes, but she'll keep it up.
Mignon, after all, is Mignon.
That looked rather painful. Unfortunately pain is the name of the game. If it were as easy as simply taking someone out of a fight without hurting them that'd be preferable, but unfortunately such techniques don't tend to work effectively when it's all said and done. Ingrid lets out a little sigh of relief once she's on the ground, realizing that whatever it was Mignon was attempting could have made her game plan go very wrong very quickly had it worked.
"Yes, good! It's good to see that you're not going to give up under pressure. That's an important attribute for someone seeking to right the wrongs of the world." Despite the powerful blow Ingrid just landed, the fight is still fairly even. Or at least, that's how she must look at it to try and keep herself from getting sloppy. When things looked grim is when she's always shone the most, pulling off wild maneuvers that had seemingly no chance of success. A cornered fighter, just like a cornered animal, can be very dangerous.
But despite that, she can't just hold back, it is a fight, and it would be doing Mignon no favors if she weren't going to give it her all. Ingrid composes herself shortly, and then speaks up once more. "Very well, are you ready? Here I come!" And come she does, sprinting in towards Mignon at breakneck speed. A flying kick might be expected, or perhaps a run by punch. But in this case she does something else- something the audience at home might enjoy a bit more. She slows herself down quickly and then attempts to wrap her arms around Mignon and pull her close, leaning back to just to lift the slightly taller girl off the ground before turning around and falling forward, which would having her land directly on top of her. She herself had difficulty breaking away in

As Mignon forces herself to get up, Ingrid is acting like some kind of coach. "Mignon .. can do this .. all by herself.. she doesn't .. need .. help. Mignon's .. not a failure." She says to herself as Ingrid speaks. Mignon .. doesn't ever think. And at this time, Mignon's charged by Ingrid, whom moves in quick.. and right about when she tries to wrap her arms about Mignon, pulling her close and lifting Mignon off the ground. Mignon flails, but at the same time.. the glowing baubles lock into a single white color as they begin to work.
And that's about when Mignon slams into the ground. Carried by Ingrid, however, Mignon hadn't even tried getting out of the way as Ingrid went right at her. It's about when Mignon lands, backwards, on the ground, nearby Ingrid .. that she coughs. "Mignon .. isn't feeling so well." She admits, the baubles forming a sparkly line towards her chest, until all of the baubles are connected..
And raising her hands, Mignon, on the ground, had started as Ingrid grabbed her. The sparklies begin to run up her arms as she extends them outwards, laying backwards on the ground, and pointing towards Ingrid's form.
"Mignon... has a SURPRISE~ for you!" Mignon calls out happily, as the sparklies begin to gather in her hands. "Allley-OOP!" Before Mignon raises both hands and lets go, the ball opening upwards and swallowing about Mignon, and Ingrid, before exploding in sparklies EVERYHWERE!
Sparklies are cute too.. and Mignon?
Mignon's back on her feet after it's over, away from Ingrid! .. And with a mark of sparklies to where Mignon may have blown backwards away from. Or perhaps, launched, by the sparklies.
yes she's being attacked by love.

A METEOR! Mignon, on the ground .. apparently didn't have enough for that. But in the end, it still may hurt.. because Mignon's creating a METEOR and it's being launched straight at Ingrid from upclose. "Here Mignon goes!"
It's launched point blank. And while Ingrid might get off lucky, Mignon is bouncing along the ground from the strike, her body only stopping when she hits the fence, "OOwiieee.. ow ow .. Mignon got rug burn .. from cement.. oww owww...." APPARENTLY this is more than she can handle.
Ingrid's first look at her .. may have been a little flawed.

Ingrid 1/------=/=======|===----\-------\0 Mignon
The grapple is a success, but Mignon seems perfectly capable of breaking out of it once the pair land on the ground. As Mignon rolls away, Ingrid raises an eyebrow and responds to the younger teenagers words. "I said nothing of sort- I'm certainly not helping you, and I hadn't thought that you're a failure in the slightest. In fact, I'm thinking that if I'm not careful you'll turn this fight around faster than I can help it." A smile forms on her lips, "Excuse me if my warning seemed condescending- I fought a kind young woman who did just that for me, and I found it rather heartwarming." How she gets all this out before Mignon levels her hands at her and fires off her massive chiblast remains a mystery.
When the meteor -is- fired, Ingrid opts for the safest of all possible avenues. She holds her arms up in front of herself while remaining on her knees, and a moment before the strike hits a bright flash of golden energy forms around her. The veritable shield of energy she creates is penetrated by the attack, but it greatly reduces it's strength, causing it's weakened form to crash into Ingrid's guard and detonate, scraping her backwards across the roof before expending all of it's energy. A held breath is released, and Ingrid rises up to her feet. "As I said, I'm not holding back."
Ignoring the pain in her singed arms, she immediately moves back to the assault, trying to take advantage of any recovery period that attack might bring with it and strike. She rushes in and goes low, ducking down and going to the ground, sliding forward with one of her legs extended in front of her, an attempt to simply crash into Mignon, or knock her legs out from under her if she tries to get back up.

Ingrid 1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0 Mignon
As Ingrid protects herself from the weakened form of Meteor, Mignon, meanwhile, is barely picking herself up but that time, and as Mignon hears Ingrid again, she's sad for about half a microsecond. Mignon must be really weak.. but that changes because the woman rushes towards Mignon and brings her attention towards her. Which is when she ducks down, crashing towards Mignon.
Mignon in responds, grabs for the leg. "Lightni-EEEEEEEEEEEEK!" She's toppled over, body hitting the fence in a way that doesn't work well at all. Because it launches her abit. Into the middle of the rooftop, in which Mignon cracks her head against the cement rather solidly, lying on the ground.
Just laying there, Mignon's out of breathe as well as out of fight, but she doesn't call it quits. Call it a masochistic streak, but Mignon never feels that she's in over her head. So as Mignon tries to pull herself up again .. she does, but she's bleeding.
And not in the ow boo boo way. Mignon sort of stumbles to her feet, almost dropping. "Mignon doesn't want to turn it around .. Mignon wants to just spin it.. but Mignon's not doing so good."
Not entirely sure what Mignon is trying to say, Ingrid nods her head slightly. The ricochet off the fence was rather unintended, but one can't be too apologetic about their actions in a fight. Especially if one's opponent takes that as an insult. The blonde takes in a breath and lets it out, knowing she has to try and finish this. Perhaps Mignon isn't doing so well, but if she did anything other than try to end the fight she'd be giving Mignon a handicap. And so, her course is set.
She moves towards the witch, and then stops a few paces away from her. "I'll give it everything I've got, in that case." A brilliant flash of golden energy surrounds her. She lets out a cry of, "Yoshaaaiii!" and rushes at Mignon, one hand held above her head and one of her legs held out wide, pirouetting across the ground on one tiptoe in an attempt to repeatedly kick Mignon, her body laced with sparkling energy, leaving a trail of it as she goes. After a few spins she plants the leg she held out and kicks forward with the other, ending in a quick hopkick.

As Mignon's told she's going to give everything in the fight by Ingrid, Mignon teeters. "Ooh ... Oookaaayy.." She smiles, head hurting a bit. "Mignon's going to be riiiiiiight heeeeeeeere." She seems completely lost that Ingrid happens to be pirouetting towards her, to kick her with sparkling energy. That energy is slammed straight into Mignon, even as she raises a hand. "Hey .. maybe Mignon should ..Water u-!" KICK. It slams into her mouth, the leg, and cracks against her heavily, before she slams a leg out towards Mignon with a quick hopkick, Mignon flying back towards the door to the roof.
Which is either open, or Mignon flies through from the force.
Once could distinctly hear the sounds of Mignon falling down a flight of stairs, before stopping, Mignon's head spinning. "Mignon .. doesn't think she ... can stay up anymore... or stand up.. okay? .. Mignon .. is just going to lie down for a bit....Oooh.. biriiidiiiiesss~!"
"Tweeet tweeet tweeet~!" She says, her voice slightly hearable from up there, if only faint. "Mignon won't hurt you birrideeess. stay here as looooong as youu wannnnt~!"
That seems to be that, as far as the fight goes. Whatever that water technique is, it doesn't seem to have pulled through for Mignon either of the times she used it. From the sounds of it, let alone the sight of it, the kick down the flight of stairs seemed to be more than enough to take all the fight Mignon had left. "Hmm..." Ingrid lifts her finger up to her chin and rubs it a little, holding her other arm across her body. She's not really sure what to make of this fight. On one hand it seems she trounced the pink haired witch, but on the other only two of the attacks sent her way landed fully. She'll have to think about it some more.
