[ Her eyes squint a bit at the image reflected in Akua's shard - just making out the imagery of dark wings. But soon after, she's blowing out a puff of air through her pursed lips, waving her hand dismissively. Even her Mage Hand copies the motion, looping back to her side with flair. ]

Pffft, like that'd ever work. I'd probably get flashed in the eyes again if I tried something like that on you.

[ Which she does think is true... Misa can be bold (read: reckless), but she's also not quite bold enough to try stealing something from someone obviously more powerful than her. Try to connive something off someone out of her class in strength, that's different. But to outright make a move like Akua is describing? No way. ]

When you think about it, we don't even really know if the side with the most sand at the end will even get anything. [ She muses, crossing her arms loosely over her chest. That glyph in the ground that disappeared looked a little suspicious... but also, it disappeared, so did the magic fail to set, or is it just invisible now? ] So I'm more worried about staying warm then all this sand funny business...

[ And on that note, she'll step in a little closer, trying her best not to like. Step right on wherever that glyph was. Not that she remembers perfectly the exact location of it. Just for emphasis, she hugs herself a little tighter, looking up at Akua through her eyelashes, just toeing the line of coquettish. ]

Aren't you getting cold staying out here...?
