Internally Jikan groaned and cursed as soon as she saw the smirk on Erebus' face. Warriors were warriors and 'criminals' would be 'criminals'. That look just oozed that he was going to do something about the words Toma had said to him.
Great, just fucking, great..., she thought in pure annoyance.
At the moment of which that Erebus weapon shifted in his hand, Jikan would respond, either cutting off the words she had spoke or simply continue the dialogue with Toma while casting her magic. She would tap her foot, a purple 16 meter Diameter purple circle appearing under her. Fitting Toma, herself, and likely the others in as well its confinement. However, she wouldn't try to cover herself, Erebus, or Jin in this magical barrier. Only Toma. The dark magic moved 20 meters per second, and given her closer proximity to Toma than Erebus, would likely appear far before his glove began to move towards the Sleeping Calamity member. A 16 x 16 purple box appeared covering Toma, stopping and absorbing the 2xS damage from the spell before it would break. W
Jikan did not bother to stop Erebus as he dashed to the stair railing in a lunge. It was....a smart thing to move out of her immediate melee range. But...this was not the time for trival things or another fight with the God of War's patron. Jikan would respond though, dashing with a lunge of her own to stand as a wall, furthering her already present spot in between the two trouble makers.
If Erebus had continued on to try to get through her to Toma, she would have attempt to grab the fist of the jab with her gauntlet. An exchange of physical strength as she simple would have stopped the punch and not attack to attack. In her mind, such a thing would only be idea once they were out. She was a battle lover yes, but a person who had grown well enough to use her head about when and where to do such things. Fighting under water, surrounded by numerous sea beasts, in a Rune Knight prison under sea. Was absolutely NOT on her fight here list.
Jikan voice came out. Soft and a bit soothing. But cold as well, eerie as she gave a smile with her eyes momentarily narrowed to slits, to Erebus, Toma, and Jin. A soft flow of her mana coming out of her.
"Now now boys~. WHAT, are we doing here??~".She opened her eyes, continuing her smile,
"Are you fighting here...of all places. Really?", dis-content oozing from her with a bit of...disappointment.
"He's one of my men Erebus. So this won't do. Stab each other, curse, or punch. I really don't care. Just have it out with each other once we get Knuckles and get far away from this shit hole".- Spell used:
