[ There's a pause as Claude thinks through what Jesper's said, in regards to something that's definitely not standing here with his hand in a hive as he's doing right now, and he glances back over his shoulder towards the other man in extreme curiosity. But - Jesper also has a point that's probably too close to cheating. ]
You have a point that's not a good idea to flaunt the rules set for us by magical beings since I'm guessing they wouldn't be fond of that. Maybe we could at least get some points for impressing them with something they've never seen before, though.
[ Not that there's much of a 'we' there considering it'd be Jesper doing all the work... sort of like right now, really, which is enough of a reminder to grab some of the pellets while he can. The spell does a good job of sending the bee a few feet away - something it predictably doesn't enjoy - and when it tries to come back he lifts a hand to send a slightly stronger spell its direction to push it back further. Or so Claude thinks, since he doesn't bother to actually check that before going back to his task. ]
Clever's a really good loophole when you think about it since there's almost certainly some way to use that. Like for something flashy, maybe? [ The amused look on his face is entirely for Jesper's benefit since that's an adjective he associates with the other, and a compliment at that. It's one more reason they get along. ] Anyway, almost done here. Just another minute, and...
[ At the same time he withdraws his hand, the bee has Other Plans and zooms right back in and this time around the smoke. With a vengeance too, it seems, and that seems like enough pellets rather than risking it as he ducks and sends off another wind spell to hopefully send it away from both of them. ]

Shit! I think we've both been found out.
