[they'd rather not regret it, should something go awry and their magic not been ready to avert it.]
[For the briefest of moments, E-Soul remembers Shang Chao leaning over his outstretched arm, working on the gauntlet he wears as Xia Qing watches the adjustments closely. As ever, it stings.
[they reach over and touch E-Soul on the bicep. there's no visible tell, but there is a kind of buzz, a little nudge of anticipatory energy being introduced and stored up. a bit of guidance - a means to make sure footing surer, or a dodge more effective...once, at least.
it's as brief as a greeting touch, and Tristan smiles, satisfied, and leads the way into the spooky house.]
Let us see...if this place is a very good ruse...or a very haunted house. I didn't hear what you said you heard when you called, but maybe now, here in the same space... hm...
