See, he was getting rather used to Prince's moody looks and stares, and all the like. So when the boy's mouth did the telltale downward turn, Sabel really couldn't help himself. He grinned, made sure his mug was fixed properly atop his head, and said rather casually. "Welcome to the dark side, we have cookies."

And with that, he produced a cookie from his pocket, dipped it in the remaining liquid on the top of his head and took a bite out of it. Duels were serious, life didn't always have to be. With a grin, and chewing on the rest of his cookie, Sabel turned to face the attackers.

And Merlin they didn't waste any time. Already Zeke and Maggie were being rather bombarded with spells. That distracted him for a moment. Hadn't he said attack one at a time? But then again, maybe a sort of 'buddy system' with the attackers would work too. There was enough one-on-one in the duels to dry up a camel. But that meant, that defending pairs didn't have to be so isolated as one might have thought.

He also noticed a few students sitting out on the sidelines, a Kyroh and a Hady in particular. Interesting tactic, unless they were the reserves.

All of this took about a second to process, but it was a dear second that nearly lost him Daxton's mug for sure. With a quick flick of his wrist, Sabel snapped up his wand with "Protego", putting a deflecting shield up between the jetstream and Daxton. But the deflection wasn't aimed back at Tia, but rather towards the compounding defender-problem-pair of Henric and Ava.

Of course, distractions were distractions. And yes, there was a good one in Davie. Sabel had noticed him, but hadn't been entirely concerned when he didn't see any conviction in the boy's eyes. Bad mistake, and rookie one at that. Apparently dueling children was a bit harder to do than dark wizards. Who would have thought?

One moment he was watching the water spurt away from him, and the next he heard the dreaded dancing spell. He was certain that Daxton was about as nimble a dancer as he was, and that was rather ill speaking. But, he was also certain that there was no way a side! lunge! dart! deke! or dodge! would be understood in time. So, he did the only sensible thing to do.

His free hand clamped onto the mug and his body jumped right in front of the oncoming spell. And there the dueling club had it, a dancing Defense Professor. If they had ever seen his regular dancing, they would have thought it bad. This, then, was attrocious! The mug clattered between the saucer and his hand with that jarring, china chime, and some of the liquid sloshed over.

Dear Merlin it was hard to even aim at his own feet. Tongue out, concentration and mug in hand, he took a moment, made sure the air was clear of attacking spells and cast a quick finite. The relief, was liberating.

OOC: So I realized that the one-on-one attack method isn't going to work and will make things tricky with RPing (and I forgot to state it in the rules...XD) So you can team up to attack, and yes you can team up to defend too (though your main focus should be defending your partner). Again, each attacker RPer gets 3 spells/pair, each protector gets 2 defending spells/attacker, and each protected gets 1 attacking spell/attacker
