[He gives the attack a grin, obviously approving, before nodding.]
Indeed, the aetherial chains are something some few of my people could wield.
[Not all, but... some. It takes a little more finesse to use in actual battle than to simply stand there and bind something, but Hythlodaeus is an accomplished fighter no matter how much he pretends- perhaps even believes- otherwise.]
Most of our kind were non-combatants- entirely unfamiliar with the concept of taking up arms against a foe, despite their powers. I might have been the same way, had my best friends not been who they were- fighters at heart. Full glad am I that I took the time to hone my skills somewhat. I will never surpass them, nor would I try, but I can certainly look after myself better now!
