The assassin always relied on her speed and agility for attacking and dodging, but she was no match for the lightning fast reflexes of the snakes. In fending off the snapping fangs of one opponent she left herself vulnerable to another sashaying back and forth in a predatory display. The tip of her dagger came down in a swift arc of retaliation, splitting the serpent's head in two as it returned, but the damage was done. Moving away the hand that had shot reflexively to cover her face following the strike, she grits her teeth, adjusting her stance so she can keep her foe in her sights now that her left eye has been ripped away.
Funny, she always thought if she lost an eye it would be to her explosives.
So occupied by the loss, it takes a moment to realize she’s been rendered even weaker by another Absorb attack. When she does, she hops back, fading once more with Stealth. She’ll give this stealth trick one thing, making up alchemy potions while invisible is even easier than doing so when foes are distracted by aeons. Rikku reappears in front of Yunalesca, a vial of her limit break Mix:Black Hole in hand. She’s far too close – in the blast zone herself, but it’s the only way to be sure her companions are a safe distance when she makes the throw, as they are unfamiliar of the large area of effect of her attacks – and the likeliest way for it to hit its mark. Besides, what does she have to lose? One hit and she’s gone now. She’s saved these ingredients for years, and as the bubbling flask launches from her fingertips she places all her faith and hope in it,
Please, you have to work.
There is no reason for her to reappear, the Al Bhed could have stayed safely hidden in the shadows as the concoction sailed towards the woman. She simply wants to look the woman in the eye. She does so, leveling a calm, fierce gaze at the woman with her remaining eye just before the moment of impact.
