"You could have asked! You just said some stuff and I ignored you and then you attacked, even after I made fun of you for making so many assumptions. But how you should know really isn't my problem. I mean, that seems like something really important to know for sure before snapping your charge's neck!"

Her wounds were healing up quickly, part of the reason she didn't really care about taking damage or dealing it. If she stabbed the dragon a little too much or in the wrong place she could just fix it. If she got a little hurt it wasn't that big a deal. Even the teeth she lost earlier were already starting to grow back in, as uncomfortable as that always was. It made her less worried about increasing her strength like this. It was always really hard on her body and painful as hell to actually use it, but she could fix it so it was no big deal. The first kick broke through some of the harder muscles and tendons, nearly breaking her knee in the process. Diana bit her lower lip, working through the pain, and continued to kick until she could open a hole. The snake attacked in the mean time and she gave it everything she had to make sure she wouldn't get bitten. Successfully it seemed because the snake backed out quickly, presumably not wanting to have a spear in her brain like a reasonable person, and clawed at her instead. The claw sliced through her shoulder and down her arm. Hardly the snake's worst attack right now, but the location was inconvenient. She was getting dragon blood and guts in an open wound and that did not seem very sanitary. She figured her body could probably handle any disease that came of it, but getting out of her was a priority.

A few more kicks did the trick, and at that point she was pretty sure she tore something and broke her foot if not more than that, but it probably wouldn't take that long to heal. When Diana emerged from the dragon, she was covered head to toe in blood and guts, but wasn't particularly bothered about it. She forced herself to her feet despite the pain and leaned against the dragon casually, like nothing had even happened and like they weren't still in the middle of a fight. Her stomach growled. She'd been amplifying her body a lot and she still had yet to eat since the dragon eating her food was what made her go after it in the first place.

"So you mentioned eating this thing before. Is it any good? Can't say I've ever had lizard."

Even though she looked casual she was preparing for the snake's next attack. She was going to have to wait a few minutes before she could run again with her leg like this, so getting the snake to attack was the next best thing. Snake lady seemed to only have melee range attacks, so whatever she used to attack meant that Diana could also attack that part.

Diana was starting to like this weird snake lady. She was starting to wonder if she cared about the dragon at all, or if she was just using it as an excuse to fight too. Because she just made a sarcastic comment about eating it and suddenly snake lady was fighting over who got to eat it. It was surreal, but in a good way. It meant she'd probably get endless entertainment from this thing and good fodder if she wanted to try something out. For now, she was content to enjoy the current situation.

"Well, normally I wouldn't want to take anyone's kill away from them, but that's a lot of lizard, lady. Don't you think it's a little greedy to keep it all to yourself?"

Rather than try to counter attack something like that, she fell to the floor again. It meant she'd have a hard time dodging any follow up attacks, but it's not like she'd be able to with her leg like this anyway. All she could do was raise her spear so that the next time the snake lady tried to throw her girth on her she'd be impaled for it, much like what happened when she was still inside the dragon. That seemed to be the only tactic the snake lady had going for herself: hard hitting attacks that relied on her huge body and momentum. Easy enough to counter because attacks like that were generally slower and it would take the snake lady a moment to be able to switch direction, it was just a matter of capitalizing on that and finding the right place to stab. But first she had to wait for her leg to heal.

Either snake lady was taking this way too seriously or she was just terrible at banter because this conversation was just getting boring at this point. Rather than keep talking, Diana simply dismissed everything she said with a shrug and prepared for the next attack. Unsurprisingly, it came strong and once again, it took everything she had with her enhanced strength and both arms just to keep the snake from crushing her.

Then the floor collapsed under her. The pressure from all the attacks in that area must have been strong enough that the floor just couldn't keep up. Unfortunately, with her on the ground with an injured leg, she couldn't just move out of the way, and with her using both arms to stop the snake from hurting her, she couldn't just grab onto the ledge even though the hole wasn't that much bigger than she was. She tried to hook her good leg onto the edge, but it wasn't enough and she went tumbling into the hole.

The area under the floor was a mess of wires and tightly packed pikes, likely carrying water for the sinks and bathrooms and natural gas for the stoves. Diana hit several on the way down, landing unceremoniously on the ground with a thud. For a moment she was dazed, but such a fall wasn't going to keep her down for too long with her healing ability. She started sitting up only to hit her head one one of the pipes right above her. With a grunt, she rolled over to get a good look at where she was. It was almost pitch black, the only light coming from the hole in the now ceiling. However, much of that light was blocked by a thick maze of pipes and wires because of how tightly packed it all was. Even at her size she was going to have trouble moving through all this, to the point that she wasn't even going to attempt it with an injured leg. It was a shame that the fight would probably end like that, given how much trouble she would have maneuvering through all this she doubted the snake would even attempt going into a place she couldn't even fit, but it was fine. She learned a lot and she figured she'd have another opportunity to fight her later.
