It's a shard thing. I have to be touching you and concentrating, or touching the walls and concentrating. Or touching whatever, but... I can like... push out protection onto it. The guy, Di.. Der... D, whatever. He did it on a practice dummy and couldn't stab through it. Or make a mark. He can do it with his shirt so his arm is whole. Stuff like that.
... Could you teach it to me? [Jon has a not fun history of getting poked full of holes ok and Stiles probably doesn't want to walk around holding hands with him all the time so...]
[Jon snorted, giving Ryia one of his almost-smiles.]
I can't fault that, I suppose. Getting blood in your furs does get... sticky.
[Don't ask how he knows that.]
Tonight, then? When you're done with your working. I'd sooner know such a thing before the battles start than after I'm on the bad end of even more swords than usual.

I can try. You might have an easier time of it because you're used to accessing it. The harder part for me was finding it.

[And for the first time since Jon had entered, Ryia piped up from on top of the wardrobe.]
Exactly. You might get blood all over the bedding. Then where would his royal wizard sleep?

Fine, tonight. It's probably better before bed anyway since I'm still getting tired from using it.
[Needed to work up that shard-muscle.]
