Runa, for her part, did see the attack coming, but otherwise ignored it.  The blow did knock her head back, but it was ultimately no worse than if someone had just punched her in the face, and that hardly registered.  Victoria did at least get an "ow" out of her, before she went back to pretending the entire thing didn't even happen.  

Tian's question at least prevented her from jumping right to criticism of the attempt.  "That's a pretty cool ability you have.  keep working at it," she went with a compliment, instead.  

"If you don't know what to get, I'd recommend the giant brownie sundae dessert.  Can't go wrong."
