Nothing to be embarrassed of, see? She doesn't even appear to be inclined to call him on his lack of discretion in using such an ability without making sure not to cause horrendous collateral damage, because she's nice that way. In fact, she seems far more interested by the attack in and of itself - she hums thoughtfully before her,]
