Laughing about tricking her disciple years ago devolved into a sudden spar - which to El felt like dodging a kitten that had finally decided to try its claws against its master without backup. Eventually Nohre would give up again when it was clear the infuriating little Ogre would remain dancing out on the lake, avoiding the Mend user's 'just a hug'.
