(That last hit to her arcane ward all but destroys it for good, but Lucretia doesn't stagger or give any indication of concern. In fact, she takes another step towards Taako. Why does he keep needling? Why is he doing this?? For him to use Lup against her is to strike her where she's most vulnerable. She wants to stop, she wants to run and run and run until she can't see his mocking face any more.
Instead, she raises her hand threateningly, her eyes wide. It's so tempting to cast a delayed blast fireball and end this for good but something in her heart won't fucking let her, not after she's just shaved a large chunk of health from him with one spell alone. Despite everything, she couldn't live with herself for causing him further harm.)
You have no right– (she tries, and her voice is low, shaking with fury,) you–
(Her next spell is instead globe of invulnerability, sealing him back into a bubble to keep him from both his spells, and any more of her own.)
