Tessa nodded in understanding as Anderus yelled at her to stay in the center. It made sense, though she still prepared a spell in case one of the bandits breached the barrier the warrior so effectively made. She turned to Durus, to see how he was holding up and gasped in horror as he saw the leader of the bandits envelop him in flames. She was already chanting a healing spell when she saw the armored man move towards the mage. Just before Durus lay a hand on the man, Tessa turned away, knowing what was coming. She turned her back to Durus and proceeded to unleash the healing spell on Anderus, noticing he had gained new scratches from protecting her. She winced as she heard the agonized screams of the mage as he burned. It didn't take too long for him to die, thankfully. And once the leader was down the rest decided to flee, seeing as they had no opportunity to best them in a fight. 

She sighed in relief as it was over, then she turned to Durus. 'Are you alright?' She asked, surely he would need something, his armor still glowed with the heat trapped in it, and she was certain he would be wounded beneath it. 'Do you need healing, Sir Durus?' Tessa looked around, noticing the sun was starting to rise. 'Maybe we should get further away from the city, it won't be safe in her for much longer.' She was desperate to leave the borders of Miess as soon as possible, but for now she would settle for being away from the city and it's lord.
