Kisha and Duke sat quietly in their chairs, keeping a close watch over Rakan. Duke made sure to maintain the 'Ice Spikes' surrounding him, but because of Rakan's rapidly rising body temperature, the ice was melting faster than expected. He had to constantly conjure new spikes, pouring all his focus into ensuring the ice didn't vanish all at once.
At the same time, he carefully controlled the melting process, preventing the water from soaking Rakan's clothes; he didn't want it freezing again when more ice formed around him. The last thing he wanted was anyone saying he lacked control over his power.
So, Duke went the extra mile, making sure that aside from Rakan's own sweat, no other moisture touched his body. It was the least he could do.
