Cora absently nodded to Will, mist rolling off her shoulders. It didn't matter to her either way if Sig used tunneling. She was sure she had ways around it. Sig took the challenge, determined to call it the start of their training. If she kicked his sorry butt right here, it couldn't really count as training, could it? Well, perhaps it could. She'd never fought against Earth before. It was a little intimidating, knowing the very ground she stepped on could be used against her at a moment's notice. But if she could stare Fire down, her natural opposite, she could handle this. Who knows, Sig might learn a thing or two. Especially how respect is gained here.

[b]"Are you?"[/b] She said, ice spinning in tendrils from her open palms. Translucent chains snapped themselves around Sig's rock as Cora was pulled along, running up the side of the pillar. She leapted up, swiping a leg across the top of the stone in hopes of knocking Sig's feet out from underneath him. Simultaneously a bolt of ice conjured in her free hand, which she hurled directly at his chest. The purpose of this was to throw him off the pillar; it was less of an attack and more of a pushing force. The chains of ice dispersed in a shatter of gleaming crystals, giving her only a moment before gravity kicked in. Gathering her feet up underneath her, Cora pushed off the vertical stone, flipping through the air until she landed gracefully on her feet in a circle of frozen Earth.
