Robin is fully out of commission

"Robin! I could really use some help over... oh," Fuu frowned as she glanced back to see that Robin had already fallen completely asleep. The smaller girl was slumped against the wall, half draped against the handle of her rapier as she drifted slowly further and further toward the ground before collapsing entirely in a cute little bundle.

It looked like Fuu was on her own for now, then--she would just have to be strong enough to protect her friend until either Robin woke up or whatever was controlling Kiera got bored. With her plan set, she waited, holding her defensive stance between Kiera and Robin. The other woman was limited by her heavy plate armor, so Fuu had faith that Kiera's body would give out from exhaustion long before Fuu began to feel its effects.

"Release her, whatever you are!" Fuu demanded, staring straight into Kiera's blank face. The other woman's eyes seemed to stare on directly ahead, and as Fuu watched her, Kiera's body began to lumber forward. It was a slow, deliberate charge, a move of raw power as she did her best to simply run Fuu over

Fuu once again danced around the incoming attack. She caught one of Kiera's outstretched arms in her own, and by twisting as she rushed by, redirected Kiera's momentum straight toward the ground. The knightess stumbled, landing on her knees and sending out a loud screech as the metal of her lower armor scraped against the stone below.

Behind her, Fuu struck out in a quick flurry of strikes, punching here and there at pressure points in the overlap between the plates of Kiera's armor. By the time Kiera started to rise, her movements had grow sluggish and drawn out, an almost drunken lumbering etched into her every movement. To the pupetteer, it was as if her limbs simply didn't wish to respond, and each new command was **** to struggle through a fog of comprehension just to be heard.
