Edmund didn't recognize what was coming until he saw Tal's sudden shift. Not understanding the why but catching the necessity of it, he mimicked the courier and lunged to the other side, dropping low. His eyes widened when the cause revealed itself, and lightning struck the ground uncomfortably close to where they had just been sparring.
The Ancient winced at the loud thunder, hands coming up to cover his ears until it passed. When it did, he looked up to see Tal approaching. Taking the offered hand, Edmund removed his own from his ears and stood. "Truce." He agreed, grimacing as he spoke loud enough to be heard.
Thankfully, his own ears settled soon enough, and he sighed heavily with relief. "Are you alright?"

Come dance in the shadows
