[Ginko disregards all distractions, focused intensely on the liquid mushi now blossoming upwards from Katara's raised face.
Slowly, at first, but now with gathering speed-- the mushi expand and grows, flooding from her face until the mass of it is as large... twice as large as Ginko. It spreads and divided like a mass of tree branches, supporting its own weight through some invisible means.
A few cupfuls might drip from the mass near the onlookers, where it will twist and squirm like the living thing it is.
...but there's a change now. The mushi pauses in its ascent as if it has found something even more tantalizing than the moonlight. The man, standing beneath it-- white hair stirring in a breeze that isn't here.
One brief pause as it hangs in the air unmoving-- and Ginko looks at it fixedly. The placid demeanor has fallen away, and he is standing as if rooted to the earth. Not a muscle flinches...
...as the entire flood of it rushes to engulf (http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss258/mushicaps/2%20-%20The%20Light%20of%20the%20Eyelid/vlcsnap-13239.png) him head-on. ]
