[Hijikata catches that cocky little smirk, but rather than piss him off, it makes him grin too. Cheeky bastard--! He's got to give it to Tartaglia, he earns his place in the spotlight every time, his dynamic evasion and counterattack against the bear being yet another example.
While the Harbinger makes some more serious cracks in that stone beast, Hijikata likewise wants to supports his pokémon by offering a telekinetic push against the battered rhino, but Hinibuta's energetic roar (it would've been just a squal back in its Tepig days, but alas, not anymore) makes him hold off. Clearly, the Emboar wants to handle it alone... and after some more wrestling between the two large creatures on the ice, the rhino does sink into the water, making a huge splash as it's pushed into the hole.
Before Hijikata gets the time to applaud his porcine companion, Tartaglia's back at his side with his request for magma, and he's not about to refuse, happily summoning a floating glob of lava and cooling it down as much as he can to solidify it at least somewhat (and noting the effortless weapon swap with a tinge of envy. Vision holders, I swear. What are you guys so fancy for?]
Dip as many arrows as you want! What's the game plan?
[He's genuinely curious. Those dinosaurs with their remote wind- and fire attacks are obnoxious, always carefully staying where they can dip between the houses to avoid his telekinetic pull, but surely a lava missile can't harm them? He's pretty sure that Tartaglia has a higher-level idea, and he's excited to find out what it is. Hinobuta, too, stomps over to observe the proceedings.]
