Eilonwy missed the mischief at first and was considering how that would work out before it clicked that Loki had been joking. She shook her head. "Not to start, but maybe in the future!"
It was a fair warning-- one that fully matched a starting point for a sudden exercise. As the suggestion carried in his voice headed towards her, Eilonwy physically braced. Her shoulders pulled back, tense suddenly, as she went into the training they'd been doing. She pictured a series of shields lifting as if they were being held by an Order of Chivalry, each knight pressing against the magic.
A good effort, for a beginner, but Loki had the upper hand even if he was being kind by making it as obvious as Bauble's flashing red for danger. As the suggestion pushed past a weaker section, Eilonwy felt herself standing. She exhaled and looked to the ground with an irritated huff. "..Close." she said after a moment to collect herself.
She sat back down and rubbed at her head with a wince. "That was a very strong first lesson!"
yay!
