”No fire from me, at least!” he had no problem promising his Queen with a grin. That particular skill had never manifested in him, so she was safe from all but his usual hot air. Though today she was spared even that as they focused on their attacks. His assault had been a minor one, perhaps, not intending to be lethal or near to it – this was training for fun and with friends, after all – but as Rexanna discovered, a lack of balance on sharp, unstable footing could serve as defense as well as offense. He was able to dodge away from her firework, avoiding being disoriented and then resetting to his original starting position as he let the earth fall back and smooth once more beneath his partner’s feet.
The General made his observations and suggestions, and Jigano nodded thoughtfully as he remembered training with Melita in the fields when his earth magic was still new to him. He arched a brow with a grin at Rexanna, as if asking if she was ready, and when she gave him permission he danced back and reached for the earth again, grabbing and splitting it as he attempted to open a small, five foot wide by three foot deep chasm beneath her while pulling the earth in front of him up to form a shield of packed earth between them. Most surprising of all, however, was the smoothness of its curving wall compared to his earlier, rougher manifestations of the element, and the thick glass window that allowed him to keep an eye on Rex’s response through it instead of giving her the cover to hide behind it as well. ”…Huh. That’s… new,” he mused, momentarily thrown off guard.
