 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
"Thank you, sir," Nem replied oh-so-courteously. True, Rosier'd never called them a delight before, absolute or otherwise. It would be a lie to say that nobody had, but certainly not anyone who knew them all that well. Then again, that was a very short list. The kind that didn't actually require any ink.
On the topic of thestrals, was he going to... no? Alright, fine, no thestrals today.
Bombarda was all well and good, straightforward stuff and a spell Nem already had down pat (though they tended to prefer more subtle stuff, with just a dash of inferno, and some of the recent, more interesting magic they'd learnt from the Big Man) but potentially problematic. Not to be paranoid or anything, but if some of these kids failed to engage their brains enough to see that Nem's answers could be part of a survival strategy, they might have made a couple of enemies already. Even if it wasn't Bombarda (these kids were so soft), it could be something else. Some other spell, or even a punch, or whatever.
But Nem wasn't going to dwell on that. They'd stay on guard, sure, they had their wand drawn for the activity already, they could take a punch and, as to the rest, they'd cross that bridge when they came to it. Right now no bridges. Just a promenade.
When they were given the go-ahead, Nem took a little wander to find a target, and to get away from the main body of the group. It didn't take long to find a good set-up - a table, with a cluster of seated dummies. That would do.
"Bombarda." Nem cast, voice assertive and decisive, aiming directly into the centre of their midst for maximum efficiency. They'd considered attempting a non-verbal - had been practicing that kind of thing - but initially deemed it more appropriate to do what they knew would work, rather than gamble on something that might have a very public lacklustre result.
Not that anything Nem did was at risk of not going exactly as they wanted it to. Obviously.
