The jape manages to disarm Lina and for a moment she just stares at him. "Whrgh? Argh." Finally, she spits the fish out, where it flops awkwardly on the sand. "Oh, a wise guy is it?" She asks, eyebrow twitching in annoyance. "I was gonna give you the opportunity to come clean but now I think we'll skip the soft option."

She holds her hands up again. Just for that, he's gonna get the full incantation so he knows how screwed he is. "Oh, source of all power, light which burns beyond crimson, let thy power gather in my hand. FIIIRE...BAAAAALL!"

She thrusts her hands forward towards Darin...and nothing happens.

"...Fireball! Fireball! FIREBALL! Aaaaaaagh DAMN IT!" Lina runs her hands through her hair in frustration. "What the hell is going on?! That usually works!"
