But- yeah, that should do it, and with a restless uncurling flick of his fingers that he's pretty sure isn't actually necessary but sure as hell makes it easier, a long, shallow dome of shield snaps into place, from the edge of the shallow roof down to the ground a distance away.
He shoots a quick, self-assured grin at Taylor, then steps back enough to get a running start. The shield holds him until the curve is too much for his running feet, and then he's flung forward and sliding on his seat the rest of the way down, crowing in triumph.]
