[And just like that, there's a flash of anger in Mithra's eyes, and he finds his legs encased in ice. He can't move, much less step back when the water turns into sharp points of ice, halting just before they can maim him.
He feels the instinctive spike of adrenaline, his body's response to danger. But Brenner has dealt with kids (or just one in particular) that's wanted to kill him and everyone around him in much more mangled, painful ways. So of course he just puts up his hands in a placating gesture, a pinch to his brow... but still a quirk to his lips.]
Come now, there's no reason to get so angry. Riri won't much appreciate you skewering me, you know.
[Well Riri might but. It's probably against the rules, anyway.]
