[Hey Equius, remember who your neighbor is? And is therefore one of the first to see the stampede right as it begins?

Well, it's not like Lea is one to keep his nose out of anyone's business. So, tossing Stein's coat onto a chair so it doesn't get damaged, he comes running out and chases after Equius.

You know Haste? The speedy spell? That is a good thing. Lea comes screeching to a stop somewhere in front of Equius' path- just enough distance to get the hell out of the way if it comes down to it.]

Hey, man, cool it!

[He was on the SFC, he could guess what the troll is upset about.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius doesn't even notice Lea, beyond a reddish blur in the corners of his darkened vision. Sorry, kid, you're just not enough of a presence in his life yet that he realizes you're there... not in this state.]

[If Lea doesn't get out of the way, he's going to get flattened.]

[prominence_glow]

[Because getting Lea out of the way is easy. Except when he's stubborn, which is all the time.

Narrowing his eyes, he just digs his feet into the ground and takes in a deep breath while his magic gathers in him. Stein had once talked to him about controlling his fear, but that's not what's happening.

Lea is just taking the opposite route from Equius- apathy is the way to go.

Protect is the spell he's strongest at, so a shimmering wall appears in front of him, pale orange and with a scale kind of pattern. In all honesty, it won't hold Equius forever, not with that STRENGTH. Hell, Lea will be lucky if he manages to stop him for a minute.

But, again. Stubborn.]

[CRASH]

[Equius runs head-on into the Protect spell, and bounces backwards a few steps. He shakes his head, a little dazed, before snarling, putting his shoulders down, and deliberately smashing back into the shield. Using all the muscles in his legs, he starts pushing on it, trying to drive it backwards and out of his way.]

[Walking around it is not a thing that occurs to him right now.]

1/2

[...Holy shit, he is causing cracks in his spell. The shit is this.]

Want Eq to just barrel through or what?

[prominence_glow]

[Lea really does not want to see what this guy will do if he gets a hold of him. But of course he doesn't get out of the way.

That would require common sense or a sense of self preservation.

The spell cracks and shudders at the force being applied to it. Holding it up with one hand while he still can, Lea tries to think. Okay, if he doesn't come up with a good idea quick, he is so boned in the next minute...]

yeah, but he won't hurt Lea

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Push... push... push... crack!]

[Can spells explode? Are they actual physical things that will shatter apart if enough force is applied to them?]

[Equius doesn't know, and he doesn't care. All he knows is that he is going to get through this damn barrier so he can break that mustardblood's neck!]

[prominence_glow]

[No, spells don't explode. Well, this one doesn't. But at Equius' pushing, it does shatter, letting the troll charge right on through.

Cursing under his breath, Lea swerves out of the way. He's really not keen on being killed today.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius barely even notices Lea as he charges past. He's too intent on where he's going, and the neck he's going to snap when he gets there.]
