Oh. There he was. Willow's expression was a wholly unimpressed one as she studied him. Her lips quirked into a hint of a smirk as she replied easily, "I'm really not the type to point out when someone's wrong, but I'm gonna have to do that in this case. Cuz once I'm done beating you, I'm going to head right back to the Hyperion for some much needed bonding time with my friends." A nod to show that those were her plans, most definitely, and she added, "And, uh, is this enough of the banter or should we do a little more before getting started? Because I'm thinking the latter."
With that, she disappeared and reappeared an instant later directly beside him. "But maybe that's just little old me."
Her hand shot out at that, her flat palm connecting with his chest as she sent a bolt of magical energy directly into him at point blank range, putting enough power behind it to likely knock him back at least a few feet, if not more.
Unless, of course, he was a lot more powerful than she was giving him credit for. Which, really, she supposed was possible... but that was part of what made testing the waters so much fun. The whole unknown aspect of it.
