"You need to know how to fight."
Cornelia has spent the last week sleeping in his shirt and missing him so much she can hardly breathe. When she sees Caleb again, maddeningly cocky with his lip curled up, all of that goes out the window. She ducks and weaves and bites her tongue against a string of profanity.
"You're forgetting I have the element of earth at my disposal," she reminds him.
"What if you end up on a world where you powers don't work? Or you face an enemy who destabilizes your magic?" He dives, and suddenly her back is flush with the earth. "What if you break both your arms and can't use your powers anymore?"
"You're catastrophizing." Cornelia splutters, tasting the grass.
"You're overconfident!"
She is so taken aback by her own anger that words fail her. Less than a week ago, she became the earth. How could she possibly— oh. Suddenly she sees the fear in Caleb's eyes and remembers how helpless she felt when she had to leave him at Kandrakar.
Cornelia would have done anything to keep him safe. Anything.
"Fine. I'll play it your way." She grins as she moves, landing on top of him. "You're losing your touch."
Caleb brushes her lips with his. She tastes nothing in his kiss but the sweetness of victory.
