I really didn't want to engage in a fight with her here.
I could sense from her mana that she was upset.
What that meant for me was that unlike before, she was going to take this fight seriously.
Fighting her would require my full attention, opening us to third parties who would seek to eliminate us from the ranked games entirely.
Of course, a majority of people were terrified of Adriana, but who's to say no one would try anything.
Therefore, to avoid unforeseen consequences, I had to try to soothe the situation.
I take a risk by lowering my weapons and calming my mana.
"Just checking to see if you still got it."
She calms her mana down a bit as well, returning back to her normal state.
"Nows not the time for games. I'm hungry and I know you have food."
I approach her, taking berries and nuts I've gathered and hold them out to her.
Quickly taking them she cautiously studies them before scarfing them down.
