"I do not know," Valzar shrugged. "I had only hoped to encounter you tonight."

Callista smiled. "Well, mission acomplished. We have the whole night ahead of us. I ate with the wolves tonight, so I won't have to go hunting. I was hoping to see you too."

"I am glad," Valzar said smiling shyly. "Well, you could teach me some more of your safeguards?"

Callista nodded eagarly. "I can do that. I'll teach you another one. This one is simple, but it's one that not many know. One of my people came up with it. It doesn't use traditional runes. It goes by motions." She swept her arm in a long movement, making a semi circle in the air. The next motion was a quick flick to the right.

Valzar naturally reached for her mind as he attempted to duplicate her movements.

Callista felt his familiar touch and smiled. "The next move is this one." She took her two front hooves and put them above her head and brought them down to the ground so that the motion made a complete circle. "And then you bring them up like this." She bent her elbows and put her hooves together in front of her chest, like a student to a sifu. She bowed at the waist, her hooves separating and going paralell to the ground as she spun around.

"This requires a lot of motions," Valzar noted following her.

Callista nodded. "Yes. One of the benefits, I think, is that if you use this one in battle, very few of your enemies will know what you're doing. The shield isn't invincible, but it is very strong, like most of our safeguards. Another nice thing about it is that you just have to do everything in reverse. It's kinda like dancing."

"I have never encountered such a thing..." he said reviewing the motions in his mind.

"So it must work. Do you want to try and reverse it?

Callista nodded and started the reversal, which was doing everything the opposite way of what it was done in the first place. Insted of standing stationary she moved around Valzar as she completed each step. She couldn't help smiling at him with every movement.

His eyes followed her, curiously transfixed by the way she moved. He shook his head quickly trying to refocus on learning the spell, standing and repeating her motions.

She stopped and shook her head, wondering why she had done that. She shook her own head in confusion. "Valzar...did you get all that?"
