Erik looked at her sombrely, but didn't move yet. His best course of action was still to waste time for now. Though he didn't like being passive, he also knew there wasn't anything better for him to do right now.
He still didn't want to engage her directly. Not only because he was missing access to his spatial affinity right now, but also because he needed to be sure this wouldn't end like his fight against Gabriel.
No, the plan was to exhaust her under a more controlled environment than they had with Gabriel. Unfortunately, this frustrating leeching property of her Frostvein affinity was complicating the matter.
Any wounds she inflicted on Erik would not only heal her own wounds but also restore her energy, and since her methods of inflicting wounds were insidious, they were hard to defend against.
