"Her conviction is admirable," said David, replying to Yamimori. "As is her abilities. I don't think I've ever fought anyone who's used ice before."

David looked on with interest. Akai's ability to control the flow of the fight via her ice was more than a little impressive. Still, Keith himself was doing an excellent job in making sure the flow didn't completely go her way, through the virtue of sheer power and speed. 
Akai then froze Keith with a flare of her runes, and David had to hold back an impressed whistle. He had to see how Keith would get out of that . . . actually, wait never mind, it was entirely possible for him to get out, if he could somehow manage to use that teleportation of his. The chance was slim, but still there.

In the meantime, David looked at the rest. "So, who's planning to go next?"
