"I'll be honest, I'm happy enough right now being able to use it as my eyes and ears," Ronin said with a wry smile that belied the amount of concentration to talk and maintain the astral projection. "It's been useful on monster hunts. It flushed a banshee out the other week, which isn't bad all things considered."
With a half-smile, he nodded to Jigano. "Half speed if you'd be so kind," he said, sweat that had nothing to do with the heat of the day rolling in a bead down his temple. Still, he gave it a damned good go shadowboxing the bard again, though his movements were even slower now - any lapse in focus and the projection at the side of the bridge would begin to flicker and die.
Eventually, after a few thrown punches and a few hits taken from Jigano (he couldn't dodge them even if he saw them coming), Ronin held up his hands to say he was done with that particular activity, letting the ethereal version of him snuff out. "I... damn. You say you used to be able to do something similar? How did you manage it?"
