[ It starts to go south very, very quickly once the two ships are staged side by side. There's not even any time for Bolin to complain or mourn his missing powers; he's a focused fighter now, staff stabbing outward toward soldiers, the weapon's magical properties inflicting numbness with pinpricks of mana but he's still exhausted from the cannons. He pivots around to Kija when he can, hovering at the other man's back, anchoring one hand on his back, unobtrusive and moving along with Kija's movements to keep the mana exchange ongoing but not routing them in one spot as his staff flashes outwards, angry and defensive.
It takes time until Bolin feels confident—but time seems to be passing so much more quickly now, with bodies and assaults coming in toward them from every direction. He's thinking about Jae-ha and Adra's locations, knowing that him and Kija need to keep the other two from being too harshly harassed, but he can't even turn his head in their direction before a flash of lightning cackles down toward them, and he's jumping away from Kija, heart in his throat and the suddenness of it.

His concern rockets, and he knows that Kija was with him so he couldn't have seen what happened, and his feet immediately send him to where Jae-ha was stationed, shouting back to Kija: ]
