Draiss stiffened as V'elen took over for a quarter of a millisecond, and then released all but his voice. "I'elen, you never did understand anything at all. Like those balefire blades, so inefficient, unlike my toy's ones, but then again, I allow it to play as needed, and it intuits an answer. If it fails to deliver to the Elders in three cycles, I will lead the destruction of this anomaly, and admit that I miscalculated, though I doubt I will survive it. But then again, I never did understand why a S@agwq$#X<S like yourself was always following me around."<br/><br/>He brought up his two blades to a guard position, before throwing out his arms, and releasing them, while twisting the energies with his mind. The blades sputtered like a fire that just had a small amount of water tossed on it, but they flared back up to life, and floated to his sides, as he formed two more. "Well, that was a bit less elegant than anticipated, but it is always doing things like this. Taking that blind leap into the unknown. Behind you."<br/><br/>He had used telekinesis to toss a rock at the back of Verdelet's head, but apparently V'elen was in a whimsical mood, and wasn't going to let him win that easily. Not that he expected it to work, but it opened up the fight in a good manner, indicating that he wasn't going to fight her straight up. She was certainly not doing it to him.
