The queen had made herself far too comfortable, curving against the ropes with her arms folded over them whilst one heel remained lazily lifted. As though the ring belonged solely to her now.
She wanted to know if she had finally lit that spark in the other two, or if she needed to do something more. And to her delight, the two mermaids seemed affected by Asanagi’s defeat.
For her, throwing someone out of the ring wasn’t such a big deal; after all, it had happened to everyone at least once. And Asanagi looked like a rag doll after suffering her fingers' style. So perhaps she’d survive the fall. Nevertheless, something stirred within Gabriel because Freya had gone over to check on her partner.
Allen’s shouts didn’t affect her; anyone could hate her for being passionate; but Freya’s attitude, her expression. That did cause an internal jolt.
They matter to her.
She thought, her eyes shining at having uncovered something useful.
To Allen, the queen simply gave a smug smile, stoking that fury. Behind her arms was the grimace, no one could see it; but her cheerful eyes sparkled, making it clear that she had managed, at least, to tick one of her interests off the list. Although perhaps for Allen that playful, heavy-handed attitude was the wrong one after fingering her friend, throwing her out of the ring as if she were a sack of potatoes, and not having the decency to even justify herself, not even in the face of her barrage of threats.
The mermaid threw herself into the ring—Gabriel saw her climb up—and lunged at the blonde to dispatch her with a roundhouse kick!
The queen snapped to attention upon seeing this wrestler's obvious intentions. She leapt away from the rope like a startled cat and stepped back the moment that kick was launched.
Unfortunately for her, Allen is the same size as her, so ducking wasn’t an option; that’s why the Brit bent her own back sharply to evade the strike.
She could feel the fury Allen was harbouring: her kick sliced through the air right in front of Gabriel’s face, and she was certain that, had it connected, it would have sent her reeling. And that shock had an impact on her balance. She stumbled and could barely steady herself to avoid falling, backing up until the ropes saved her. So Gabriel decided to take advantage of that, hooking onto them with one arm and stretching them with the force of her retreat! If Allen wanted to take her down... she could do the same.
So she shot towards Allen M. Summer! If the tall, furious siren didn’t try something, then Gabriel would calm her down with a Single Leg Dropkick!
