"An entire pack of more than fifty Korats... is only a small fraction of the deaths Wureshi has caused." Atumi's tenor is flat and matter-of-fact, sparing no brutal facts from the younger black. Why should he? To her last comment, he nods once. "I will kill him myself, if Erashun doesn't do me out of the pleasure first." He doesn't add the likelihood of his own death during that fateful battle; Wureshi is decades older and more experienced than the pack second. And he rarely fights one-on-one, preferring to wear his powerful opponent down with his skilled offspring, none of which really stand a chance, before he himself attacks. By then, the outcome is a given. Atumi well knows these tactics... he's lost to them before.

Teal eyes idly flicker to the blade-carving, widening briefly in surprise. "You're artistic," Atumi says, one furred brow arching as though the statement were a question. A swift shake of his shapely muzzle disperses idle thoughts as part of the tree bark begins to singe; the black's mind had been distracted. "Try again. Draw as much as you feel able to, remembering how volatile energy is, and then form it into a ball if you can. Hold it mid-air."
