[ Having not expected an outright demonstration, she's taken off-guard by it. Her stance shifts slightly, as she takes a step back from the water. Her eye trails down to the water before she turns back to Caren. Confrontation was an all too familiar companion for Regina, whether or not she ever initiated it.
Humans were obnoxious, she inwardly concluded. Whatever iota of surprise appeared on her face, Regina is quick to hide it. And here she wasn't looking for a fight. Fingers tapping on her spear in thought, Regina turned back to face Caren. While she wasn't looking for confrontation, Regina wasn't about to be a pushover. ]

[ The rank of a pawn is limited and the spells she cast, including this one, wasn't effective as she would like it to be. Even if trying to mimic Caren by summoning her own gout of water was somewhat effective. Still, her rank is low, she can't do much with it, having a limited mana pool.
At least she could, her teacher would argue, but Regina always wanted to be his best student and over-achiever. She had big shoes to fill, after all. ]
