CiriShade & Slon
Slon
Hey, I’ve seen your sword dance with magic—ever thought about using a shield to channel the spells? It could give you extra protection while you keep striking.
CiriShade
That’s an intriguing thought. A shield could block a few more hits, but I feel the flow of my blade and the sparks of my magic are tighter together. I’ll try the idea if the right moment comes.
Slon
Sounds good. Just keep the shield as a backup—no one should need it unless they’re about to walk into a pit of fire. Keep the sparks flowing.
CiriShade
Got it, I’ll keep the shield in my pocket and let the sparks do the talking. If someone dares step into fire, they'll get a surprise lesson in humility.
