If Eileen had been a younger woman, or simply in a better mood, she would have smiled at Salem's investigation. At the moment though, all it earned was a huff and a quick rolling of her eyes. The young Witch gets his quip and then he and Twitchy go barreling over the counter.
"Hell,"she groaned before vaulting over the counter and landing in a crouch that was a likely a hair lower than necessary.
Swinging her arm in a wide arc, The Crow stood and began murmuring as the blade that seemed to hover around her began winding again. The singing of the blades forced another moment of violent writhing in Twitchy, who couldn't decide if he hated the source of the noise or Salem more. He seizes, the final throw of whatever it is, raising a strangely spindly arm to point at the hunter. The corruption drips off of him in thick grey rivulets, the color of black ash and whipped topping mixed together, streaky and uneven.
"Mater ar-"
Before she can finish the incantation, there is a a sickening crack as Twitchy's spiny fingertip comes rocketing before her. Eileen's Ward, even incomplete, is strong. It removes the corruption, splattering it in a ring from the point of entry. However, her potency means nothing with speed and so the clean bit of bone strikes true, catching in her shoulder with enough force to stagger her.
