[However it is he meant his response to the thanks, she takes it with a shrug and offers no retraction.]
I can't afford not to be. [Between the world of Arad and its seemingly-constant need for adventurers, mercenaries, or other individuals capable of fighting, and the world of Pandemonium being, well, Pandemonium, there have been very few moments where Rae didn't need to be ready to fight, and she also needed to be good at what she did; any real lapse on her part would make her someone else's liability or would make her dead.]
Looks pretty obvious that you know your stuff, too. [Ice magic, she's seen used plenty of times; freezing attacks, dropping icicles, the conjuration of temporary weapons, and more, she's seen ice used in several different ways. The use of water, however, is fairly less-common to her outside of the occasional water ball that gets mixed in with the rest of the magical attacks that she employs herself, so she definitely took notice when one of those Circles took a blast that hit hard enough to bisect it.
She takes a moment to pick up a few of the cores that were left behind as a result of the battle.]
Mind giving a name? [She can't help but be curious as to who, exactly, came to her aid here.] Mine's Raelyn. Or just Rae if you want to keep it short, either way's fine.
