He inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment of the headmistress's praise, but his attention was fully focused on what she would ask next. When she described her plan he nodded again, this time in satisfaction with a worthy challenge. He waited until she had finished her explanation before murmuring a quiet: "I understand." Then he pulled his head back into the column of water so that he was fully encased within his element and ready.
He wasn't sure how she meant to disrupt his domain until the first wind-whip lashed the column and his brows furrowed in concentration. Maintaining control of that much water at once was no easy feat, and feeling where the attack was disrupting it was no less difficult. Still, he pushed back at the places where the wind struck, swiftly refilling the gaps. Without ice to properly stiffen the liquid he put his attention into swelling the water within the column back out as soon as the pressure from the wind released from an area so that the disruptions were minimal to the naked eye.
