"Right," Adam rumbled, the new, deeper timbre of his voice still strange to his own ears. He gently nudged Alice, who was still luxuriating in the warmth of his feathered wing. "My turn is done. Now it's yours. All of you. You must have gotten more than enough points from that fight."
Ignis practically vibrated on the spot, her scales clinking. «Yes! I'm so ready! I can feel it buzzing in my core!» She bounded a few steps away, sending up small puffs of ash. «Watch me, Boss! I'm gonna be even bigger and shinier!»
«Try not to set the whole cavern on fire this time,» Alice commented dryly, though her mental tone was fond. She gave Adam's wing one last, lingering nuzzle before padding to a clear spot herself, her form already beginning to waver with void energy. «This power... it feels dense. I will see you on the other side, Adam.»
