"When Tyler disappered the effects of his hydrokinesis did as well, I suppose."

"Mm," he agrees. "When he disappeared." Pause. "Facing the wall."

"More aware than I thought you were."

"Yeah. Except apparently not aware enough." He looks down at his spellbook briefly, then back at her.

She keeps a neutral expression.

And without warning lunges at him, saber leaping into her hand, crimson blade extended and crackling like the fires of hell, arcing to bisect his torso-

And she gets flung backwards, out of reach even with the crackling of the lightsaber, quite quickly at first but rapidly slowing down.

If she moves towards him, she'll notice that there's resistance against it, building as she moves towards him.

"And here was me worried this wouid be easy. Again."

Does the saber make it if she throws it?

Slows down as it gets closer, then totally stops about halfway between them and drops to the floor, presumably causing quite a lot of damage.

Thario does not look impressed.

"I've killed you before, you know. Or at least someone who looked very much like you. Right down to the hand you were still missing at the time."

She calls the saber back and shuts it off.

"Wh– when?"

"Shortly after I killed Tyler." She pauses thoughtfully. "Though both your legs were broken, so perhaps I ought not count it."

Now he looks slightly mad.

He opens the book and continues reading.

"Incidentally, when in agonizing pain, you scream prettily."

She attempts to reach out with the Force and grab the book or knock him over.

The book feels quite slippery to her.

He, however, does not, and he falls over with relative ease.

She yanks him quickly left, then right. Does the invisible forcefield interact with this?

It makes it somewhat more difficult to move him but does move with him.

He does, however, keep hold of the book.

What about when she lifts him up off the ground and shakes him?

That's resisted quite a bit more strongly. It is quite a lot of effort to get him to leave the ground.

Fine then. Stay on the ground.

See if you still like being on the ground so much when she pours all the rage she has for this place into sending you skidding into the nearest tree. Headfirst.

… It seems like the spell is somewhat handy for keeping him away from objects too, if he so desires. Or maybe he activated another one.

Then he turns to look at her and– she catches on fire. Just the right leg of her pants, at first, but it rapidly spreads.

Gah-

She fiddles with the waist quickly then jumps straight up, leaving the pants behind to fall to the ground. She backflips in midair, landing behind the blazing pile.

She raises her hands, and lightning surges at Thario.

He gets shocked.

It causes him to hiss in pain – it's quite a convincing hiss – but not do much more than that.

Elleira might notice that the lightning pain is gone from her head, at last.

Was that all it took? Well then.

Thario can have yet more lightning. Vicious joy is also a strong enough emotion to leech power from.

He continues to be… approximately as pained as last time.

It's not like becoming increasingly frustrated is making her less powerful.

Just the opposite, in fact. She attempts to throw him into a tree again.
