[b]H[/b]is fist smoldered with a clean, filtered smoke. As he held the shoulder of his attack arm, he peered through blast and noticed a wall of pink ascending in front of him. A mildly, cocky smirk splayed on his face. Though fear seemed to mingle in his eyes as he hesitated to retreat or take it head on.

[b]T[/b]hat thought, along with him, was consumed by the shrapnel of magic. The petals felt nothing like they looked. Inside the wave of pink, he felt his clothes and skin tear. With a urge from his frustration, pain, and disappointment; Isshum rocketed himself out the spell and hovered several meters above Hana. Flames poured from his soles, warming the space beneath him. Not a bit of defeat rested in his eyes as he stared down at his opponent.

[b]D[/b]elicately, he touched the hot blood that pooled down the side of his face. Wind touched him briskly on his back and left leg, places where his clothes no longer resides. A light chuckle left his smile. [color=#B80000][b] “G[/b]od you’re good. I gotta admit, I overestimated myself a little.”[/color] 

[color=#B80000][b] “S[/b]till though, this doesn't mean I’m done. I'm far stronger than this!”[/color] He let a small flame lick the air from his lips, his blue eyes narrowing into slits with his rising excitement.

Once on the floor he kept from touching the pained parts of his body, mostly anywhere that had been sliced from Hana’s petals. [color=#B80000][b] “H[/b]ana … how’d you get so strong? The way you [i]control[/i] your magic is pretty badass.”[/color]

[b]H[/b]e’d never admit it. But he had his own reasons for not continuing the fight.
