Bruce didn't flinch- not so much as a muscle on his face moved to betray that he heard Jenso from his communicator. He doubted it mattered, but he was multitasking a bit, trying to attain peace. 

Nonetheless, the manipulation of his earth changed slightly to accommodate Jenso's request- just before the final stretch of the maze that lay between him and the stairs, which Bruce knew by tracking his progress via the sand, golems crawled out from the ever-changing walls. 

Some were composed of stone, others cement, a few even of sand, but all had Jenso's features in common. Bruce opened up the area, but maintained the walls keeping Jenso from sight for the moment. He'd be moving forward soon, and the golems, also still out of sight, would move in formation ahead of him in reaction to his Ki signature approaching.

That done, Bruce waved his right hand and his familiar blade came into being. He didn't wield it, however. The disembodied replica of his own hand made another appearance, clutching the blade by the hilt and slashing horizontally, sending a Ki wave toward Zelriane and Shaidra. 

None of it meant to be a real threat- it was a warning.
