Aerilyn glanced over to the side and saw him trying to smoke a second one. Is he trying to mock me? She wondered before she lifted her hand again, sending a blast of wind straight into his face, again blowing the cigar from his mouth as well as blowing his hair into sticking straight up. She smirked slightly before hiding it with a hand. "I knew you were thick-skulled, but I didn't think you'd be this much so.". She then stopped and turned to face him. She put a hand on each of her hips, giving her something of a power stance. She could feel the powers within her gradually becoming more apparent, but only when she was almost joking. In a way, she dreaded the thought that her powers may just be linked to her emotions, especially the happier ones. She wouldn't admit it to anyone, but showing emotions around others was possibly her treated challenge in life. She'd been taught to conceal her feelings, that she was a servant and was less than human to begin with.
Now, though, she could possibly let that to and truly show how she felt to others without them putting her down. Would they truly accept her for how she felt? It could be quite possible, especially from how the others were joking and play fighting together earlier. Although this was a serious time that required her at her best behavior, she could feel her powers grow with the more emotion that she allowed to come out. Her emotions would give her the power that she needed to win this fight.
"I know that some snarky is going through your head right now." She said in the most casual tone that she could manage. A small smile even graced her iced-rose colored lips. "I dare you to too that." but then she remembered the task at hand. "But when we get back to base here, of course. I wouldn't want you to waste all of your brain power trying to top that."
