She was not reserved the way Mauja was, so when he turned to offer her a shy smile she all but beamed radiantly back at him. Watching him work, the steady concentration he had while he sent his ice magic towards the orb (she thought she recognized it as his work, at least), was intoxicating and calming. Indeed- so many around her were focused on the magical ball of light, but the longer she stood in the gathering, the more the extroverted queen found her eyes were only for Mauja. “Good job,” she found herself encouraging him, until…

A ROAR!

Acutely turning, whole body whirling to face the sound that the yeti had made, Kahlua was not even aware of the sharks in the water. Dancing nervously on the ice, the queen tried her hardest to gather her thoughts; it was difficult beneath the thick blanket of fear that had fallen over her eyes. Whinnying erratically, bouncing on icy ground, the queen tried and just could not seem to get her emotions under control. How Mauja could steady himself to work on two projects was beyond her, but the fire seemed to come from his body as he tried to flame the beast.

Magic, magic, she thought, her body not daring to dance too close to the creature. But she had none that would be useful. Glowing rocks, calming, preventing racism… Nothing she had in her arsenal was meant for war. It was Khan who finally came to the rescue, swooping overhead of his queen, trying to usher her closer to the Frostheart before the brave feathered blue began to fly towards the yeti. Too surprised to try and stop him, the queen felt an otherworldly surge of bravery and joy rush through her- Khan’s emotions as ice blew from his lips. For indeed, he had heard Keidajen’s call, and the thought amused him.

His ice was meager as of yet, hardly cold enough to freeze a yeti, but perhaps blowing some in the creature’s face (if he could aim there well enough) would be annoying enough to draw the creature towards him. Trying several times, Khan would blow ice and then move closer to the glacier, trying to draw haired creature and swinging club towards the ice. Would it work? Perhaps, or perhaps not, but it was more than the queen was doing.


Summary| Khan tries to shoo Kahlua closer to Mauja where she will be safe, then follow’s Keidajen’s directions and tries to draw the yeti towards the glacier; his hope is that the yeti will swing his club and break some of the ice.
