Ariel curled her lips in thought, looking down and to the side for a moment while considering. "I could do that. It would be more difficult to handle, and it might take a while, but it's possible." Ariel looked at Meesei properly with her confident explanation face on, "The effect is such that getting a more concentrated liquid would provide diminishing returns. It's difficult enough to get it down to the volume that I have it now. But!" -Ariel raised her index finger- "What I [i]can[/i] do is make into sort of..." Ariel spun her hands, trying to find the word, "... a vapour. Except, not quite like you'd think. More similar to the transforming gas that we'll be destroying. It would be much smaller though," Ariel held her hand up with her finger and her thumb holding an imaginary small object, "It could fit into a smaller vial, one could wear around your neck with a cord. The downside, of course, would be that you would have to breath in the whole thing at once. You can't open the vial without the gas escaping. So, for example, you won't be able to drink half of it for a partial effect. I shouldn't think that'll be too much of a problem in this case though. With Sabine helping me, it should take a few of hours I think."

"Okay," Fendros said, dipping his head in understanding. He hadn't thought of that. Grabbing his mace again, he lowered for the next bout.

Their clash started with Janius baiting Fendros to swing by holding a lower guard. Fendros hated when he did this, but he knew their wasn't much he could do but try and spring the trap before he was caught in it. With a sword, this wouldn't be difficult, but he was holding a mace. Momentum was the name of the game here. As if he was reading Fendros' annoyance in his hesitation, Janius pulled a smirk. [i]Perhaps if I...[/i] Fendros attempted a swing at Janius' right, but didn't step up so far as to be able to hit him cleanly. Fendros didn't try to redirect his swing like he would if he was trying to get past Janius' trap, so Janius brought his shield sweeping up to cleanly deflect the blow upwards and retaliate. With the extra distance that Fendros had given himself, he was able to pull back his stomach and hop back to dodge the swinging mace. Janius seemed to inadvertantly give Fendros a slice of extra time as he followed up by circling his mace around to swing down on Fendros' left shoulder. Fendros was surprised that Janius would try such a forewarned move against him, especially with how much of Fendros' more agile fighting style he should have been familiar with. Nevertheless Fendros didn't pass up the opportunity to exploit his mistake. He ducked and weaved to the left, bringing his mace back with him. Then he swung into the side of Janius' back, slowing down the force put into his weapon at the last moment as they were wont to do in a sparring match. The mace collided with the armour with a clank and even the slowed blow was enough to make Janius stumble in surprise.

Regaining his balance, Janius looked over to Fendros. "You and your bloody slippery moves," he said, speaking in a tone that mixed laughter and frustration, showing their sense of friendly competition as they did, "Be fair and wear some armour like I am!"

Fendros laughed in return. "Come now, I saw that swing coming a mile away."
