Quinn felt the sudden difference in air pressure and knew immediately what would come next. A bit of an explosion, actually, just a bit. The Fire Balls met the wall of air and fell in on themselves, first imploding and then exploding. The tinders rained down on Kiran due to a comdination of the Air she created and a bit of a push from Quinn.

Quinn's next tactic wasn't pleasent, but it was necessary. He placed his hands together in the style that an Alchemist would use and then slapped them on the ground. The earth around Kiran then began to shake, shift, and move all about. It was Quinn's own little mini-earthquake. While Kiran dealt with that, Quinn made a dash for his staff.

Magnolia woke up some hours later, hungry again but not feeling as detached as the last time she'd been. She cleared her throat and realized that her voice was in working order. She'd been pulled out of a pleasant dream about Magnolia's and Dorien's wedding which she wanted to have at home in the shadow of the castle or at least on some grassy knoll under a willow tree. That had been her mother's name, Willow. She smiled at the dream, Dorien didnt' seem ready for marriage and Magnolia wasn't sure she was ready either, they still needed a bit more time before they could reach that step.

That, she could do. One of the few things she'd learned in her training was how to conjure up winds, including miniature tornados, and how to return what she'd just done to normal. She'd never been particularly adept at it, but she was capable.

Kiran took a backwards course and began to spin both poi in the same direction, the opposite of the existing tornado, and then began to add wind magic to it until she felt it was about the same speed as the oncoming twister. She released it, then went around both on a beeline for Quinn. He'd never said to stop attacking.

Kiran laughed, and put on an extra burst of speed. The wave would have presented a problem were it higher than her waist, but at the current height it was a simple enough task to leap over it. Her footing wasn't as sure on the wet ground, so she slowed down and started a wide circle around Quinn. He had her cautious, not wanting to outrightly attack him again.

With a growl she tried to send a blade of air into the wave to separate it, though it did nothing more than create a dimple on the surface of the water. She didn't have the time to build the momentum to jump over it outright again, so instead she went into a low stance and waited for it to come to her. Kiran dove through the wave, and in the process lost one of the poi, though came out of the other side unharmed, if dripping.

Clearly letting him have the distance allowed him to use his magic more effectively. Her mind was made, she began a zig-zag charge, her center of gravity low.

With everything being wet, her footing wasn't as solid as it was before. She did manage to dodge the first bolt at the expense of hitting the ground and hard, allowing the second time to hit her. Wincing Kiran picked herself up, throwing a wall of compressed air towards Quinn as she moved to gain enough time to get up close.

Kiran came at Quinn with a kick at about waist height, and cocked her shoulder back to wrap the chain of the poi around his neck as soon as she saw an opening in his defense. Her muscles were not reacting quite right, her body felt strange, probably from the electricity, and she wanted to resolve this soon.
