West clicked his tongue against his teeth impatiently. Every second they spent with these imbeciles in his path was a second that West wasn't clearing the dungeon. He shot a glance at Brielle, he wouldn't have agreed to partnering up with her if he had known she was going to cause trouble this early on. He sighed, stepping to one side and swiping at the air in front of him. The names and levels of the three bandits hovered before him. The ringleader was level three, the patsys were only level two. His mind started to race. He could easily parry through the axe, disarm the dagger wielder and take out the guy with the mace in one swing. He would take a couple of blows from the back, but he could kill the...

Suddenly he froze a look of worry flashed across his face. That tactic would put his own life at risk in order to guarantee at least two kills, but this game didn't work like that. In any other virtual world, he would happily cleave through the thugs regardless of the outcome, but it was too risky here. West may not understand people too well, but he had no intentions to murder anyone. He had destroyed so many pixelated people before, but if he were to hit one of these people with his sword, they would actually cease to exist. They would actually die. He tried to calm himself, taking a deep breath and concentrating on the situation at hand. He could disarm the axe wielder and power strike the... His power strike could do some serious damage and if he made a critical hit then it could possibly kill the opponent.

West's eyes darted around the area, numbers racing through his mind. He couldn't see it, he couldn't figure out how to win the fight. He didn't have a plan that didn't involve lethal fighting styles and in this game that wouldn't work. West couldn't kill anyone, this situation needed the people skills that he had always lacked. Right now, he was nothing more than a mass of flesh and muscle. He couldn't talk his way out of anything. He kept his hand clutched on his sword, ready to fight if the circumstance arose, but apart from that, he was lost.
