whoops i lost track of this tag

[Kor frowns as he loses his only line of offense. Since he was only doing minor guard duty today, he hadn't thought to bring along his steel sword. That'll sure teach him to think otherwise for the future.

His eyes go wide when Edelgard tosses him her silver saber. Reacting quickly, he runs forward to scoop it up off the ground.]

Thanks!

[He poured too much of his currently limited magic reserves into that last strike, so he was going to have to make due with normal strikes until he managed to recharge a little. He didn't have the advantage of powering up his attacks with his magic for the moment, so he was going to have to make due with a more familiar method for him.

With speed.]

Incoming!

[Hopefully, Kor's callout to Edelgard was enough to notify her of his intentions. Taking advantage of the momentum he created, he rushes straight towards the second beast, and slices through its jugular with the saber. Even if the strike didn't fell the beast, it wasn't likely to be standing much longer.]

[unyieldingmarch]

[It's definitely enough. She's accomplished enough at team tactics to know how to get out of his way, and to following up. Blood wells up from the one he's attacked, an inky, dark bile...and that ultimately just leaves one since his target will flag quickly from a wound like that.

Rocking forward, she kicks out with an armored boot again, striking the last cat-creature and stunning it. And then she brings her axe down hard, cleaving it neatly in half before spinning to check on Kor.]

Good move! Get back and let it bleed out on it's own. Safer that way!

[spirialink]

Right!

[He could see these things were as good as done. There wasn't any need to drag out the fight any longer. Kor spins around on his heel and makes a hasty retreat away.]

You really know how to handle yourself out there, Edelgard.

[unyieldingmarch]

[Edelgard does as well, though she reaches into her belt and...]

Swift mercy is the best I can grant. I am sorry.

[A mumbled not-quite prayer to the dagger she's drawn, and then she flings it into the dying animal's throat to finish it off more quickly. It dies with a gurgle, and she finally turns back to Kor.]

...I was trained as a soldier in the finest academy in my world. I...suppose it's to be expected.

You did well yourself, Kor. Thank you for your help.

[spirialink]

[Edelgard's final action there surprises Kor. Kor understood that sometimes death was in itself mercy. But he hadn't expected anyone to show mercy to a monster.

He was impressed.]

Thanks. You too.

[He holds the saber she'd lent him out to her.]

[unyieldingmarch]

[She takes it, wipes it clean with a cloth, and re-sheathes it before going to collect her dagger and doing the same.]

Shall we return? I believe your shift was ending.

[spirialink]

Ahh! You're right! I've gotta get back there before someone starts wondering where I went!

[Kor can't have someone thinking he went AWOL all of a sudden. He wants to get paid here, dammit!]
