Rae was more confident this time, and carefully face the bird, she actually came towards the bird quite a bit, and was scared about the proximity.
still she repeated her gestures and a slightly more powerful fireball went for the bird's side, she really hoped she hit this time and was aware she would probably have to run because of it, unless it went after books first, then she'd just try to conjure an actually effective fireball, as both of her previous ones had been pretty weak.
