[Really, Brennan, it's common sense. Still, Dorian only gives him the space of a moment or two to move out of the way before he unleashes the fireball he'd summoned, allowing it to grow as it hurtles towards the hedge and burns a surprisingly neat hole in the greenery, the edges of it singed but the embers dying out rather than catching and spreading further. That kind of control had taken practice, though he'd never imagined this would be what he might need it for.]
