Pleased as she is with her little display, she is not the master of one element by familiar with many. She can feel the aether in the boulder shake as he tries to control it and she is grateful that it doesn't suddenly fly towards her instead. (Small miracles and a price of hubris.)

"No?"

What she should say that she doesn't either and it's a necessary evil at times, but that in and of itself would be a lie. There is a thrill in battle and wielding powerful magicks, but it comes at a price. She doesn't like killing.

There's no intent to kill here as she's forced to move or be moved in very uncomfortable ways by the stalagmites. She sends the boulder flying on a gust of air-aspected aether seconds before she sprints out of the way, narrowly from the last of the stalagmites.

"You seem to be quite good at it! At least with these."
