The Warden nodded, polishing off his own muffin as he surveyed the Frostfields; ever scrutinizing and ready for something – years of warfare had taught him to be of the ‘constantly vigilant’ expertise. But he was willing nonetheless, offering his prowess and experience amidst training enterprises for most of his citizens, save for the ones that irritated him (and maybe then he just made everything that much more difficult – for his own amusements and spite). “It could have its moments. You would at least know your limitations.” Which was an important skill to hone – how far one could push, pull, cajole, or toss.

The Barracks could’ve done some good, but closer quarters with fellow soldiers would’ve meant the unintended friendly fire aspect, and he was in no mood to be rushing everyone off to the infirmary or to snag at Zuriel when it came to electrical burns. “My Earth might be suitable.” Grounding anyway; could work as a shield should she toss the lightning in his direction. “For now, show me how far you can use it.” Then they could expand it to other means.
