See, they're not so bloodthirsty here! As they could be. Wait, where did the flaming ring of fire come from?

Right when it seems she'd simply run into the lower arc of fire, she jumps, doing an impressive flip through the ring and landing with a whoosh of sand on the far side. Both "big cats" follow after, and the fight resumes much as it had been before.
Only with a ring of fire still there. Burning. Collette can't help herself. She laughs. )
