>>19617134The closing moments of the match were a blur to Andi Kestrel in her state of frantic energy. She had been fighting hard with Nico on the outside, when after one particular punch she saw Nico's guard drop and her face go slack - shit, she could be hurt. Better not hit her again. Besides, with her bell rung this bad there was a good chance she'll be out long enough to get counted out. Even in her adrenaline-fueled frenzy of chaos Andi had realized this, so she slid back into the ring. She looked to the opposite corner, saw Ratasha shouting something, trying to encourage Nico to get back in, and her mind hearkened back to an earlier statement she'd heard, from Paule B. Coupe of all people:
=====
>>19617919(Good luck at Cupid's Chokehold, please be nice to Nico, she is super nice.)
(But you can punch Ratasha. She is a meanie.)
=====
Andi had blinked. Paule was pretty smart, she must know what she's talking about, right?
So Andi had run over to the corner and antagonized Ratasha, then started brawling with her until eventually the bell rang. Ratasha dropped off the apron, and Andi looked back over her shoulder.
Nico was just starting to come to, on the outside of the ring.
Robyn McDaid comes over to her side, embracing her. "We won, Andi! She got counted out!"
