[Wash brings the kid back to his room, eyeing the lizard suspiciously. It makes sense for there to be friendly lizards when there's also friendly bats and cats; that doesn't mean he has to like it. He tenses slightly as the lizard gets near his bat - and when the hell did that happen? When did he start getting protective of a partner he kept insisting he didn't want?]
[Now wasn't exactly the time for that train of thought, but he did breathe a little easier when the lizard backed off.] Good.
[He'd already seen someone pull a shield from midair today - a key wasn't too different, even if it was slightly more ridiculous as a weapon. He'd also seen magic before, but that was ice from nowhere and this looked completely different.]
[Only a moment after the spell goes off - at least, Wash assumes that's what happened - the green glow fades and the bat is back in the air with all the energy it had before it was injured, hovering in front of the boy's face and happily squeaking its thanks before making a beeline for Wash, flying circles around him and squeaking nonstop.]
Jeez- wait- calm down-
[After a few missed swipes, he manages to catch the bat in midair. It calms down a bit when he's holding it, long enough for him to unwrap the bandage. The spell did its job - there's no evidence of the burn that had been there a minute ago.] Wow.
[The bat hops up to his shoulder and perches there, rubbing against his helmet affectionately. Wash, however, is still looking at the boy.] That's a pretty useful trick. Thanks.
