[ He BETTER. Hunter is trusting him so much right now. (And wondering, in the back of his head, if this will turn out like it did with Luz--)
He shakes his head a bit to clear it and starts tugging off the layers of armor he's wearing. The cloak first, piled neatly on the sand. Then the top half of his armor, starting with the clinking plates of gold on his arms and moving up to the breastplate. (The pants he leaves - they're not especially well armored anyway, and it's not like he has anything to show Casey there.)
Under the armor he is ... definitely a gangly teenager. Tall and skinny and definitely more of an agility guy than a strength build. The more he removes of his armor, the more obvious that this guy is SEVERELY scarred. They ring his arms, creep down his neck towards the collar of his undershirt, take out small chunks of his shoulder. When he fully removes the glove on his right hand, in fact, two fingers come with it; he's missing his pinkie and ring finger there. The stubs look a bit ... odd? It looks more like the tips of a severed branch than flesh scars there.
But most important - what Hunter is ACTUALLY trying to show Casey - are the glyphs. Before, Hunter had cast using a single circle on his arm that had turned into a ball of light. There are other single circles like that, but also plenty of small diagrams that chain two or three of them together. The back of his right arm is dominated by a massive array with what must be twenty or thirty of the little circles incorporated into it, while his left arm has a medium-sized array with a separate five-circle design nested close to it, nearly touching. They're all tattooed into place, though many of them have deep scars as well that have been etched into Hunter's skin over and over again. Especially the five-circle design on his left hand.
Hunter taps a single glyph on the back of his left hand - and a small burst of flame comes out in much the same way the light spell had. ]
These - these are glyphs. There's really four of them total, but you can combine them to make more complicated spells too. Every shape is a different spell.
