Nikki was still in shock at the method Erik had used to get them here. The last spell was a gentle one. Riding upon a vine, they had arrived from above, allowing her to take in the situation at a glance and react. But before that...
'He simply threw us into the air!'
Erik hadn't yet mastered flight. Thus, to cover the distance they needed to, he had used the trees like slingshots. Sending them flying, only to catch them with an air cushion and some leaves.
The experience, had, to be blunt, been beyond terrifying for Nikki. Erik himself had also nearly messed up more than once. After all, he had never tried this maneuver before. They could easily have died more than ten times.
Those had certainly made Nikki drench herself in sweat. The ground had come too close, too fast, too many times to count.
