Chloe stumbled backwards and half fell, half caught herself against the table directly behind her, causing quite a clash as several chairs clattered to the floor. She quickly regained her balance and waited to see what Julienne did next.
Julienne wasted little time getting back to her feet, and there was murderous intent in her eyes as she circled Chloe. The change was threatening to overtake her right then and there but she kept it at bay with tenuous restraint. The golden hue of her eyes betrayed how perilous that self-control was though.
Chloe's glare matched Julienne's murderous glare with equal fervor. Her eyes were locked on the woman, her body ready to spring at any moment. She still waited for Julienne to make her move.
Julienne moved towards Chloe, overturning the table that was now between them to get at her, seeming for all intents and purposes like she intended to wade in head-on. But her fingers grasped around the back of one of the chairs as she passed it by, and she swung it in a wide arc for Chloe's side.
With gritted teeth, Chloe raised her fists like a boxer as soon as the table was flipped. As soon as she heard the chair scrap against the floor, she started to dash forward, bracing herself for the chair to impact. The chair hit with a loud 'crack', and the wind hissed between her teeth as the chair clattered to the floor. But she was now close enough now to try to deal a strong low punch to Julienne's stomach.
Julienne proved exceptionally spry though as she twisted past Chloe, closing her fingers around her wrist to pull her arm wide while she snaked her own arm around Chloe's throat from behind.
