[ Ahhh, but that's the kicker, isn't it? Staying in close range has proven to be very difficult indeed once Panty decides she needs some breathing room.
Which - to give credit where credit is due - can be partially blamed on her hilariously skewed idea of playing fair (she doesn't) and the fact Cloud is very generously going easy on her (he shouldn't). Were they on equal footing from the get-go chances are very good that she would be having a far harder time tossing him into shooting range.
Panty eyes the busted door and the shadowed interior of Cloud's room with a great deal of grim satisfaction while wobbling a little on the spot; he's not the only one to feel motion sick from spinning around like a BeybladeSanic top on steroids. But what matters is she's made her point and he's clearly not going to get back up from that.
................
The silence does get a distant twinge of concern though, if only for the briefest of moments before it's stuffed deep down where she doesn't have to deal with it. He's fine. Totally. 100! Fine! A couple bumps and bruises and some time to think on NOT STEALING HER SHIT would do him some good. Why should Panty give a flying fuck? He brought it on himself.
The first footstep echoes from his room as she's half turned to walk back to her end of the apartment (presumably to lick her own wounds and complain about the scratches he's left behind on her horns), getting her to pause and glance back, fully expecting to see a badly battered Cloud looking worse for the wear. Imagine her surprise when that isn't the case, but instead... ]
What in the-- [ Are those... flames? DUDE she gets that you're pissed, but don't burn down the building! She kind of lives here! Panty being Panty however, the imminent threat only gets a chuckle out of her as she lifts Backlace to draw a bead squarely between those ominously glowing mako eyes. She's not taking him seriously. At all. ] Now we're talking! I can keep going forever buddy, ask around!
[ Whoops, innuendo. To quote Stocking: "It's true, she's a giant slut".
More to the point, she's got absolutely no reason to hesitate as she pulls Backlace's trigger a second (and third, and fourth) time. If Cloud's tough enough to handle getting a beating like before, he can handle a few more nasty bruises. ]
