[ Perhaps it's a hidden blessing in disguise that trouble gets stirred up enough at the Elderflower that Sumina has learned to keep her cool in the midst of chaos, but still, that was a little too close for comfort. Don't mind her as she sort of just shuffles behind him... Though she can't help but peek out just a little, to see what he does. It's for research.
But really, thank the stars that Winter is here. She's not familiar with the spell that he's cast, but regardless, it's noteworthy and incredibly effective, it seems. With two left, this will surely be a breeze for him—
At least, until one of them disappears into thin air, doing that anime ninja thing where they disappear and then reappear behind Winter and Sumina, the latter of whom isn't entirely helpless, even for her lack of arcane talent. After all, her family put her through a little bit of training, if nothing else for self-defense... and she has good enough reflexes to catch valuable breakables whenever they're inevitably sent flying during a tavern brawl.
The ninja lunges forward with a blade, clearly aiming for Winter - but there just happens to be a lovely console table next to them, with an equally lovely candelabra atop it - and so Sumina falls back on instinct, grabbing the damned thing to swing it into the ninja's side. It won't be enough to make them go poof, but it'll definitely be enough for a nani!? moment. ]
