Ben ignored their conversation. He was intently watching James Bond. He had never expected to like it so much- it was amazing! He decided to start introducing himself by saying “Carter, Ben Carter”.

I’ve actually never watched a James Bond movie. I should...

Neither have I.

"What about you Ben? Have you ever used your surge to mess with people?"

“Me? Uhh...” Glint came over and whispered in Ben’s ear.

Remeber that one time when you grew the houseplant of that guy who had stolen your book and it broke a hole through the ceiling and-

“Nope.”

Draug finished his cake and stood up. "Alright. Time to go defend the city, I guess. Where do we keep the gemstones?"

“But you do realize the whole point of debating is to discuss something, nomatter if you're wrong or not? It's not about being right or wrong, it's about debating,finding arguments, be creative."

"I need to learn how to focus. Right now it's hard to use them at all. The moment I get stressed or afraid I can't concentrate enough anymore and that's it."

She admitted.

"But then to learn this, I have to practice, and I'm bad when it comes to sitting down and practicing something. I always get distracted or end up here, or outside doing sport."

Rob tilted his head to the side. Practising had never been a problem for him. Sitting down, repeating the same thing for hours, days. But he heard what she said about creativity, and his mind blanked.

“But, you don’t need creativity when you’re right, I think. But, I was never good at this creative thing.”

“I think concentration, focus, all of that is easy, but my way of fighting is really limited to turning the ground into liquid, gettign hit and hitting back. Maybe if I tried to be creative, I could accomplish more. But then again, creativity is not my strong suit. Give me pencils and rulers and resources to make great art and I will draw a square. A solidly and well drawn square, but still only a square.”

"Give me pencils and rulers andvressources to make great art and I will grow bored and head outside."

She thought for a moment.

"Help me focus and concentrate to learn my surges and we can work on a more creative way to fight for you together? Make you unpredictable?"

I've got a funny idea which may or may not be related to the overall plot.

Rob thought about the offer. Then nodded. “Ok,” he said, though a part of him still doubted whether he’d ever be ‘unpredictable’. If anything, he was the most predictable of all of them.

“That’s was a good spar,” he mentioned as he stood up.

Happily Shana got to her feet as well.

"Thanks. It certaily had my pulse spike."

She replied wryly.

"Let's head back upstairs? Or do you want to go another round?"

Defend the city?! I barely know how to be a proper Edgedancer!

”What do you mean, ‘defend the city?’”

“Ah, because you’re scared of water” Rob said matter-of-factly, then slowly began walking up. “Heading upstairs sounds good.”

Nodding she grabbed her shoes and followed him upstairs.

"See you later."

She called and then looked at Mahad.

"What do you need me to do?"

Her spren hovered exitedly into the air in front of her.

"There's this tree with a nest. And they hatched just yesterday. Fetch a piece of an empty egg for me?"

She sighed.

"Honestly?"

He whirled around her head, urging her to go.

"I found a friend and he wanted to have a piece of an egg."

Shana laughed and stepped into the garden, followed Mahad to the tree. It was a tall, but it had large branches and if she jumped she could reach some lower ones easily. Carefully she tested her arm and then started to climb. Following his directions up, she paused when she saw an eggshell not far away.

"Is that one enough? I'd prefer to not plunder the nest itself."

He agreed and so she fetched it, then climbed down again.

"Now take it to Glint."

Mahad commanded and she saluted him mockingly.

"Yes, sir. Your personal Radiant is ready to fulfill all your wishes."

Walking back inside she looked for Ben and finally found him sitting with some of the others. There were some new faces as well, and she waved a general greeting into the room, wondering how many more people Doc would be able to accomodate. But then, it was probably safer for all of them, if they stayed together. She sat down next to Ben, smiled at him apologetically.

"Mahad would like to talk to Glint. Is he with you?"

She asked in a low voice, as to not disturb the others.

“Oh! Um, yeah.” Glint moved from Ben’s shoulder to Mahad.

What is it you would like to show me?

Mahad sat down on Shana's arm and she opened her fingers, showed the eggshell to Glint.

For you.

Glint glowed brightly enough to light up an entire room. 

It’s beautiful! Thank you so much!!!

He spun in circles around the shell, excited.

I'm so happy you like it.

Mahad observed him, then flew closer, the ashcloud forming his body moving quickly, showing his excitement and happiness.

==============

Shana watched their spren, smiling.

"They're adorable."

She said softly.

I can’t believe that I finally have one of these... Ooh, we should start a collection together!

Glint moved from floorboard to floorboard quicker than the eye could follow.

===============

Ben smiled as well.

”They are quite cute.”

He could hear Glint talking nonstop to Mahad.

”It was very kind of Mahad to bring that shell to Glint- he loves anything related to birds.”

"Honestly, we don't do much in the way of defending. We just attack Voidbringers whenever we see them. And when we do, its pretty close." Leona said.

Yes. They are. Maybe radiancy interferes with guns? In the Mortal Instruments, runes interfere with guns. A lot of urban fantasy has this as a trope- Percy Jackson, Dresden Files, etc. Maybe we should keep this up? I don't know. 

I like the aesthetics of swords better. But like shard - crossbow- gun things? Perhaps something like the . guns from the most recent Aquaman movie.
