The small smirk Fei had turned into a full on grin as Jessi shook her hand. This again threw Jessi off. Since they came here Fei had hardly spoke to him and treated him as nothing more than an unwanted tag along. Yet, in this moment, the way she was talking to him and even looking at him made him feel appreciated. Maybe he had misjudged her this whole time, mistaken stern determination for harshness. 

While these thoughts crossed Jessi’s mind, Fei sudden got a confused look and turned her gaze to the pendant she had under her shirt. [color=184C3B]”Everything alright?”[/color] It was that instant Jessi felt something tighten around his ankle. Before he could even react he was launched across the arena.

Flying through the air, Jessi cursed himself for letting himself be caught off guard. Up until then he had made it a point to keep his guard and watch for everything, of course the one time he let it down was when they would strike. But now that things were kicking off, it was his turn to strike.

Stabbing his spear into the ground he halted his flight and used the momentum to swing back around and roll towards his original position. While he didn’t quite make it, he was close enough to thrust his spear into the shadow hand that threw him. Quickly standing after, he looked back to Fei worried the beast caught her by surprise as well.

 Of course she not only was fine and the beast did, but she must have been looking for him as their eyes quickly met. Pointing with his spear at where the shadow hand was he called to Fei over the sound of the fighting, [color=184C3B]”Can’t we have a single fight where people don’t immediately try and screw us over with magic!?”[/color]
