It started with a slight chuckle and then proper laughter from Katherine followed.
The other captains and Thamoryn looked at her, wondering where that had come from.
Then she spoke to Aiden, and to their hearing, "None of these people here will admit it, but you scared us for a moment there."
Then she laughed some more.
None of the captains said anything; some even turned their faces away as Katherine had just embarrassed them.
And yes, they were scared, though not for their lives. It was more about how unexpected the spell from Aiden came.
Not one of them would have been able to see that coming.
The sound of Thamoryn clearing her throat made Katherine muffle her chuckles down.
She then spoke to Aiden: "I have never seen such magic power and technique coming from one presumably inexperienced with magic."
She immediately spoke what everyone was thinking.
