I don't blame you, for that. I go plenty of places without her, too.

But [Lina's voice starts to rise] not a haunted [she manages another wind spell in between, shoving a wraith back] ghost-infested [sounding a little bit more angry and whole lot judgmental] TEMPLE!

[She finally uses Zel's sword, turning it into a conduit for an Elmekia Lance, far more potent than her usual spell. The wraith she personally has been battling doesn't take too well to being impaled by it. The wraith actually flickers out for a moment.]

She would really come in handy about now!

[They could talk about the sword later. And possibly Lina's tendency to use people, even if she did appreciate Amelia for her friendship, sometimes.]

[conglomeration]

[ He'll claim until he's dust that he's too busy gathering more power to reply, being scolded about this is a bit too close to the quick for his liking, and there's no point to arguing with Lina under the best of circumstances, which these are decidedly not. And, he has to admit, at least inside his own head and nowhere else, she's not wrong. ]

[ Doesn't mean he's about to admit it to anyone, though. No one could ever accuse him of being anything but hard-headed, in all sense of the word. Besides, they'll be fine. If they can't manage themselves one of them will blast through the two dozen layers of rock and sediment above them and get them both some breathing room and a convenient cave-in (not that it's anyone's first choice for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the potential for forbidden magic once they douse the wraiths). ]

Vice Flare [ he tries instead, hoping a souped-up fire spell will at least make a dent. If nothing else it'll hit a lot of them at once. ]

[ A burst of flame and sound hits the center of the mass of ghouls and most of them go down in a mass of shrieking and foul smoke. The walls around them rumble and sprinkle centuries of dust down on them, but the ceiling seems to be holding (he'll claim he was completely sure it would, and will never admit to being relieved.) ]

[ Hopefully Lina can manage for a second, he has to focus enough for another one and if he overpowers it they'll be ghosts themselves. At least if she accuses him of being reckless, he's got literal years of ammunition to bite back. ]

[dragonslaving]

[Scolding is all she can do, though. Hitting Zelgadis never ends well for her, and seems to cause him little agony. When he stops enabling her reasons to keep going, though, she at least lets it drop, for now. Lina can't argue the situation they're in is more dire and needs immediate attention over whatever annoyances she has.]

[Blasting through and causing a cave-in is a big reason Lina is holding back. She wants out, not suffocation. And there's a high chance of the wraiths getting free, as well. Causing a much larger scale event that will be harder to contain. Otherwise, well, big explosions are her first choice. She has experience here that makes her pause, for a change.]

[Between a couple of smaller spells, she looks over at Zel's fire spell, and nods when he stops, clearly focusing. Now that she's not chiding him, she's more serious about finishing this off.]

[She Raywings to his side, ready at his back with no words necessary.]

[And since they're on fire spells -]

Flare Arrow! [A few of those to keep the wraiths at bay.

[conglomeration]

[ He'd been several large spells into this fight when Lina showed up so it's a very good thing she moves closer, gathering more power takes a few moments longer than is typical, leaves him more vulnerable than is comfortable (not that any amount is fine with him). Another astral shadow spell catches the rest of them, freezes them where they stand, followed moments later by another power-enhanced combination of fire and concussive force which rattles the tunnel and, thankfully, sends the wraiths on their merry way. ]

[ Swearing softly, Zelgadis falls to a knee and splays one hand on the wall as he catches his breath. See, he can do it without a Priestess at his beck and call! ...Even if it would have been more convenient not to tire himself out like that. He leaves the enchantment on his sword active in case a straggler is about to come screeching down the corridor, which has happened to him too many times to count. ]

Thanks, [ he finally says, because yeah that would have been rough without some help. ]

[dragonslaving]

Good job, Zel! [She smacks his back in appreciation, only to wince. Right. That's why she doesn't pay Zelgadis' back. Right.... There is no way she's going to relent about Amelia and admit Zel didn't need her after all, no. She's still right!]

Aww, and even a thank you. You're so good to me. [She's implying, of course, good enough he's letting her keep the sword.]
