Rurik had finished walking a line in front of the flag area, from side-to-side of the arena. It tapered off towards the flag zone, so it hadn't been a long walk. He'd then decided that since the enemy team was taking their sweet time to take a stroll over to the middle of the arena while he was still feeling helpful.

And then Bak started panicking.

[color=CFD3C6]"What? I'm not doing anything..."[/color] He grumbled mostly to himself. Her concern was nice, he supposed...? But why was she freaking out, it wasn't like he was going to the other side of the arena, and nothing was even happening! Wait, what? Heat? Disregarding Bak's frantic shouting, he walked closer to the dividing walls, and indeed he could faintly feel some heat radiating through from the other side of the arena. It had caused a warm breeze to begin blowing through the gap in the wall, fighting against Christine's cold.

Braving the battling elements, he stuck his head into the corridor between the dividers. At that same moment, he saw Andras enter through the other gap in the walls... with a...

[color=CFD3C6]"Is... that... an angel?"[/color] Rurik's eyes went wide. What exactly were this. . . girl's? Boy's? He hadn't been paying attention to the other matches so he had no idea what Andras was. But he also had no idea what Andras's powers were, but they looked annoying to deal with if she/he had [i]that[/i] following her/him.

It was time to take Bak's advice after all. He paused for [i]just[/i] a moment at the gap in the wall, and then half-hurried half-walked over to Christine. He hadn't been walking around seemingly aimlessly for no reason. Anyone he didn't like who stepped in the places he'd stepped was in for a surprise.

[color=CFD3C6]"Don't waste your strength cooling things down,"[/color] Rurik told her. [color=CFD3C6]"Just let them come to us where you'll have the advantage."[/color] If they wanted their side of the arena to be a sauna, then they could have it. The temperature of the arena was the least of their worries right now.

Their team wasn't exactly mobile, so they'd have to be on the defense for now. It also meant he'd have more bodies between him and the enemy if they stayed together...
