He's seen sparks before, the cores of self that could take the shape of things important to them. They hadn't been lights, gentle and protected in jewelry, but glimmers of darkness floating free and vulnerable outside them. Seeing his had made him a little nervous, aware how he could still be hurt. Seeing Rita's, as she becomes so much more calm and confident...
"You have got to be kidding," he exclaims, and if it's envy he's feeling, he doesn't acknowledge it. It's just... shock. Surprise.
A hundred little calculations run through his skull, and he steps back. Either nothing's really going to come of this, it's just that the Carnival people have uniquely powerful spark and that's why the Void picked some of them, or... he remembers, CY-Ren had a Star Guardian counterpart, that Noa who first contacted the carnival. Maybe she's contacted the forces of Creation in some way, made underlings of her own...?
If so, well, this is Rita! She wouldn't kill anybody, especially after lecturing him about it, but she might fight. And a fight between their powers could be the kind of flashy, chaos-causing distraction he's supposed to be causing. So, this is probably good! It's fine! He can handle it.
