She was used to nodding a lot now she didn't even notice her nodding much.
Jillian continued to observe Daphne as she raised the balloon. Daphne was really doing well. Jillian had to maintain that concentration too, so her balloon wouldn't pop and wet Daphne when it was her turn to levitate the rubbery thing filled with water. Jillian nodded at the thought. "Yer pirate talk be improvin' quick-like, Cap'n" she complimented as the balloon hovered mid-air.

Jillian was speaking again and she paid attention to her words long enough to choke. In her coughing, her hand shook and her balloon shook ominously in the air before it feel a few inches before Daphne was able to catch it again. Pressing her pink lips together, she focused her irritation on keeping the balloon up (even though now, her emotions seemed to be making it shake sinisterly above them) and contained herself from burning Miss Jillian alive with a scathing glare of disapproval.

"Argh, matey, do not speak yer cap'n be concentratin'" she barked genuinely. "I think I'm done." She spoke finally, and brought down the balloon, her time having ended with her last spoken word. "You're turn."
