[@Wick] Finding herself in the midst of a battle, unable to get through, Niesha did her best to stay alive, creating solid-well, it was more a swirling mass of shadows-balls to throw at anyone that looked like they were going to try and kill her, often swirling shadows around her, and running somewhere else instead. And then Zach was there, practically sweeping her off her feet in an attempt to, she thought, protect her. She was sure her cheeks, although red from the battle, blushed even deeper. [i]Is...is this what it is, to feel safe?[/i] as foolish as that sounded, in the middle of a battle, Niesha nevertheless couldn't deny the fact she felt...safe. A wall of shadows seemed to protect them for a moment, and Niesha reached up to lay a hand agaisnt Zach's cheek. [color=fff200]"Hey"[/color] A smile played across her lips, although she seemed unaware of it, [color=fff200]"Fancy meeting you here"[/color] And then the shadow wall, and she started to fight again, limiting the use of her shadow abilities so she didn't work herself into exhaustion too soon. She kept it to shadow balls, now that Zach was with her. She automatically moved so that she was guarding his back, and he hers.
