"Coward," he barks, moving until she's behind him no matter what she says. She won't be the first stubborn girl beneath his wing. "C'mon," he says, and his face lights up with fury and triumph when the ground beneath him again begins to shake. "Come on!" He aims his shout at the shifting dirt and doesn't yelp when he flies straight up this time, teeth clenched tight and eyes narrowed until the force desists, letting him fall back to the earth. More in control this time, Jason rolls.
