Sabine was curious about something from a point in the latter half of Ma'tanza's response, but what really quirked her eyebrow was the last point. "I am wondering what a magic contest would be like. I would take up that offer but we should probably do something that involves everyone." Sabine angled her head to one side, "Does a...board game require magic? We do not have them in Bruma, I do not know what they are." Sabine giggled through her nose, "Perhaps we should have a magic contest anyway and have the other watch. They are always sparring anyway. Can you cast magic, S'nishi? Bheja?"

When Peiter mentioned that it would be rude to bring up his gripes, Tzirret nodded and gave small hums in knowing agreement. He was certainly not going to outright shout at Ma'tanza for it, even if he had the courage to. The solution Peiter proposed, however, made Tzirret bow his head forward slightly enough to still look at him, somewhat unconvinced. Still, Tzirret bit his lower lip and looked forward, thinking about it. "Okay," Tzirret conceded, still not confident about it, "This one will try to do as you say."

With that, Tzirret turned around, took a deep breath, and began walking back towards, Ma'tanza, Sabine, Bheja, and the hulking form of S'nishi. As he approached, he was so focussed on trying to think of Ma'tanza as just a friend that he didn't think of an excuse why he and Peiter didn't actually go sparring.
