Deimos's laughter rallied Nina this time, bolstered her wounded pride and drawing a self-satisfied smile to her lips. As another creature rampaged nearby - a maddened elk, by the looks of it - the snow-ursur hobbled before the keeper, seemingly ignored by the training soldiers and left for her to finish off. With that in mind, her whip of fire snaked out again, wrapping around the beast's throat with a sizzle of flame on ice, tightening until the bear's head popped off entirely. Easier, perhaps, given that it was made of frozen water rather than muscle and sinew, but satisfying all the same.
With the snow-monster defeated, Nina allowed her fire whip to dissipate into the air. "Training in this way is amusing," she told Deimos, her gaze flicking over to the soldiers battling the elk. "And useful." With Deimos's magic to drive things, it felt more like a real training scenario as opposed to taking aim at simple, unmoving training dummies. "I thank you for allowing me to participate." However briefly it may have been. Perhaps she would return in the future for more such training, to round out her abilities.
