Hotaru
She has far better evasive tactics than Ru could have anticipated, but given her build it makes sense that Phoebe is light on her feet. There isn’t much for Ru to do but exercise control over the birds and ensure none of the compulsive strands are lost or too heavily commanded. No sense in hurting either party.
The shield itself is beautiful, aesthetically, though it shimmers away once it has been struck. Once Phoebe has dodged an entire wave of them, Ru slowly loosens control over the birds, dispelling them in slow waves so they might not be too harried in their departures. Smiling warmly, Hotaru approaches the Nightingale and marvels at the intriguing sight of the errant sand sliding magically from her body. “Wonderful job. I think this is a good place to end for the day, you don’t want to overdo it. Though of course you’re always welcome to call on me whenever you need more training.” By letter or visitation, Ru would make the time for her fellow blonde friend.
