Laughing at Eloise's retort, Saiden nodded. "Oh aye, absolutely." He flexed his arm a little, though it was playful.
When she flinched, though, he looked over at her. Eyes narrowing slightly he turned to face the pool. "Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you." There was a little bit of a question in his voice, but it wasn't insistent.
As her skin sizzled, he grinned. It faded to an easy smile as she followed his lead and threw her own rock into the pool. "Well, then, I'll be selfish and wish for both our wishes to come true as well." He spoke boldly, but there was something genuine in his tone as well.
Of course, then he scooted forward, sliding more of his body in the water. As he did, he splashed at her again, using his arm rather than his magic this time.
