He was also displeased to note Rose's apparent smug satisfaction at his reaction, and was nearing a resolve to flood the hall with flames when Bubbles began flicking water at herself to cool off. Such a display was too much for the two soldiers behind her, who bent toward her leeringly, slurring vague offers to help her cool off. One of them goes so far as to put a hand on her waist, the other taking her water glass from her hand and preparing to pour it over the filmy cloth covering her chest...
Venger almost fried them with a fireball then and there, but watched with narrowed eyes to see how she reacted to this treatment.
Bubbles reaction to the soldiers attentions was startling to those who knew her. One hand went to the offending hand on her waist, her fingers digging in between the bones of the wrist quite painfully. She whirled in place and her other hand, fingers extended, jabbed into the mans throat hard. He gagged as he staggered back. At the same time she kicked out behind her at the man who'd been about to pour water on her, catching him squarely in the groin. He gave a strangled yell as he doubled over. Straightening up, Bubbles stared at the two men with cold contempt, her opinion of them clear. She stepped over the man she'd just kicked, and as a vengeful hand reached for her ankle, she quite calmly kicked him soundly in the nose!
Walking to the other side of Zanthia, she showed absolutely no interest in the two men, or any of the other soldiers, as she wrapped her sheer cloak around herself once again.
