[h3][color=saddlebrown]Ariel[/color][/h3][@Caits] When Tidius attempted to approach with the lacrama the new Earth mage swatted at his hand. The intent was to knock the lacrama away but he had a better grip, likely have anticipated the uncooperative behavior. Having failed that there wasn't much opportunity to prevent contact. Unlike the last time though Ariel's body changed slightly on contact. Her body turned into soil briefly and sucked the lacrama in. But it seemed that Ariel was unaware of that fact or any effect from it. A confused expression crossed her face. "[color=saddlebrown]Did you do something? Where did it go?[/color]" Beyond the lacrama's disappearance no other effects appeared to manifest. At least not yet. One had to wonder if Tidius chose the order of magic on purpose. But for the moment Ariel, while confused, seemed unaffected by the magic contained in the lacrama.
