A flash of light.

Jaina appeared in a shower of sparks, having taken a momentary detour to acquire some of the supplement in question, which was now in a small pouch clipped to her cloak. She exhaled sharply, the momentary nausea from the teleportation fading...

...she could tell right away that Bat was having trouble controlling it. She felt sorry for him, actually - just the simple fact that it had come this far meant that he hadn't been hunting. Perhaps if he could get used to the supplement...

No, there wasn't time to think about that. He was still a very dangerous foe, and one that she should not take lightly. Jaina had of course been prepared for the eventuality that she would lose from the moment she offered the terms, but... well, she'd be lying to herself if she said the prospect of being killed and eaten didn't frighten her at all.

She inclined her head to him in a bow - there was no point in asking him if he was sure, or if he'd try the supplements without the need for a fight. He wouldn't ever agree.

The moment she arrived, Bat pushed himself away from the wall. He held both daggers out in a ready stance, but it was difficult to keep steady. His whole body was screaming at him to transform and devour her, and the scent of live flesh was overwhelming his senses.

There was no way he'd stand a chance as he was, so at last he allowed himself to transform before he fell over. He almost lost himself right then and there, the sensory overload becoming nearly unbearable.

He just had to beat her. Beat her, devour her, and he'd be fine. A couple hard flaps of his wings sent a powerful blast of wind in her direction.

A hastily muttered incantation, and the air in front of Jaina glimmered with a blue light, forming a bulge in front of her - as the wind collided with the glowing shield, the air itself instantly froze into a barrier of ice, protecting her from the wind.

Jaina lashed out with her staff to strike the barrier, shattering it into a thousand shards of ice - and another mental command sent the wall of glittering frozen daggers slicing through the air in Bat's direction.

Bat landed, folding his wings about him. In this stance, there was nothing that could get through to him unless it came from below. His wings might as well have been made of steel. It was this same reinforcement that allowed him to use them to slice through Gale before.

So she had a sort of shield as well. That didn't put him in the best of positions. He couldn't counter with his. The most he could do for the moment was to move the moment the ice had finished coming his way and try and upward slash with the sharp side of one wing.
