"I have a treat for you." Hollie told him before chuckling and heading to the kitchen where she started to prepare ... something. There was no way for Lindsay to be able to ID it, but he could have sworn he heard something like a flame. Ok, so she was heating something up. It may have been unexpected, but exactly a bad thing. Lindsay detoured to take care of some business though.

"Hey Hollie! I'll be back. Gotta do a thing." He called to the blonde.

"Gotcha!" was Hollie's answer. "You got a few minutes til these are done anyway."

"How did you get my address, and what are you looking for here?" Hollie asked, reaching behind the door where he couldn't see to hit a button. She didn't want him getting INto her house, after all. That button caused a mana barrier to come into reality, blocking him from getting through the entryway, if he tried to storm the place.

"You shouldn't even have my address."

"Reasonably certain I am meant to uphold the law, not get in the way of it." Hollie stated calmly.

"They did something inexcusable." She then said, barely a breath or two after. "And both are receiving their punishments."

"Would you care to join them?" She asked.

"If not, I suggest you think very clearly on what you're doing here."

To say that Hollie was caught off guard was most certainly not hard to guess. She barely managed to redirect the attack from her torso to her shoulder by a quick dodge attempt. When she felt the crack of the socket, she resisted the urge to cry out in pain. However, it was visible.

And then the shadows seemed to come to life, and they seemed particularly interested in him, his pure mana.

"I have done nothing to you." She stated, her voice dark.

"I have always strived to do what was right. And yet you attacked me." She continued.

"I won't fight you, Victor." She told him before pausing, grinning slightly.

"You better hope the legal system deals with you. Lest my brother finds out." as she spoke, she stepped back from him, her steps not the steadiest due to the pain, and she reached for her staff. She knew that would stop him, easily.

Hollie was fast, but certainly not perfect. She managed to get her staff in front of her to take the brunt of the hit, but some of his mana still got through. She felt it burning, attacking her own.

"What..." She started.

"Where did you get those!?" She asked, playing defensively.

Hollie said absolutely nothing before sighing, heavily.

"All right then." She said simply.

"Do wht you will. You literally cannot remove them any longer." She added. "And I won't stop you. What is to come, is to come." She knew she was being cryptic, but he was obviously too damned stupid to realise what he'd grabbed, and decided to use.

"Call the council." Hollie said, barely any pain to her voice. Someone who didn't know her? It would be hard to detect, but Lindsay likely heard it clear as day.

"And I do mean via mana. I trust you know how to do an emergency contact." She added, not knowing how it was that Victor would react to that.

"Because I will need a cleaning crew here. He will be dead before they can arrive."

Again, Hollie was able to dampen the mana blast, but she certainly wasn't at the top of her game. With a busted shoulder joint, she was sure that this wouldn't go entirely wonderfully for her, but at the same time, she was hoping for it. This place very room did have video surveillance after all, specifically for if something like this happened.

And then she felt herself hit the floor, with Victor atop her, and her staff on the floor a few inches from her, as she'd dropped it. She strained to reach it, to grasp it again, before giving up, grabbing his leg, and causing her mana to do what it wanted, start binding his leg to the floor with tainted roots. She knew it would spread, as well, but didn't care. All she wanted for the moment was to pin him in place, so he couldn't get up and get away. This death would be recorded, and it would show how stupid he was, as well. Taking those two relics was a dumb move.

"... B... Because I'm not as useless as you." Hollie fought to get out. He wasn't holding her throat too kindly.

"I actually believe people deserve life, as do the creatures." She added as she felt heat from the bracelet that was sitting against her jaw.

"And that includes you." She told him. "However, your time is just about up."

"I told you that your time was up, Victor." Hollie commented.

"Good to know Lindsay." She then said.

"Victor, get off me. I really would much prefer not to inhale what is coming."
