"No mother, don't listen to him! He is dangerous." A shout came from the back, which surprised Jack a bit. But he remained silent, maintaining his act of nonaggression.
Sometimes, remaining silent and showing through the act is more important than fighting with words. If he at this point warred with Dain in the medium of words. He would in turn show himself lowering to the level of a child.
Pramaht child at that. Which might enable the maternal instincts of the Grade five witch, ruining the small respite he had earned from the battle.
Of course, if Pramaht still chose to fight him, he is not the kind to remain passive in a fight. A domain user is always the strongest at the same level and he had the strength to prove that point.
That is, as long as Pramaht doesn't act like her daughter.
"Stop Dain, I can see that he never harmed you." At her words, a small spirit turned visible beside the body of Dain. Exuding the strength of a grade four being.
