Moving, Thomas was buoyed in turn by Jake's approval and encouragement, even if his taunting and insults in battle were pretty bad, all things considered. But he wasn't focused on that as he kept up his attack. He grit his teeth as he swung, but it didn't actually do that much damage when a hit landed. The thing had tough armor, which would require an adjustment of strategy. Fortunately, Jake was here to provide that, drawing on the experience that Thomas lacked, even if it was by his own admission a crazy plan. Slight irritation at the fact that he was supposed to be the one coming up with the plans was dismissed, and he was even okay with it being out there in terms of sanity. Being with everyone in this group helped relax such sensibilities. "Alright," he replied, cutting the strands of magic as he shifted form his Keyblade to Glider form and hopped on, pulling out his staff in the process. It was just then that Calhoun tempted fate, and fate responded by having the Queen begin firing lasers everywhere. "Seriously," Thomas grumbled as he swerved to dodge. "That's like saying 'at least things can't get worse.'" Well, not much to be done about it now, though he did see some possible advantage, and he reached out with his magic, a green and red rabbit popping into existence at his summon. "Carbuncle, give us a hand," he called. The rabbit nodded, did some midair flips, and the red gem it had sparkled, casting Reflect on the five people in the area. He wasn't sure if Reflect would be useful against lasers compared to, say, Protect, but it was worth a shot. Carbuncle flashed away in a twinkle of magical energy and Thomas did what he had been asked to do. he thought about drawing the metal sword Serin had given him, but with the Queen's tough armor that seemed counter productive and not helpful. So magic it was, specifically Fira and Blizzara. He would have tried to follow what Serin had taught, but a major boss fight as it were probably wasn't the time for experimentation. and he didn't want to shock Jake with Thundara accidentally, so fire and ice went in dual combination as he dodged and struck with his magic.
