"...Well, I guess that's one way to do it!" Erin said in surprise, patting the Dathomirian Padawan twice on the shoulder before leaving her behind cover. Not leaving her behind, of course - they were all getting out of here together after they survived this battle. Despite Jedi casualties, the battle seemed to be going as smoothly as it could under these circumstances.

Erin was originally going to join in defending the younglings in the defensive formation, but a sandy-haired Padawan broke from the others and raced into the clones following the fall of a Noghri Jedi. Her duty and sense of logic compelled her to join the formation, but she went ahead on impulse before she knew she was running. She sprinted with the Force and caught a few blaster bolts on her twin lightsabers, her back faced to the kid so that she could watch his back, while he hopefully watched hers - given he had an emotional sort of aura, she really hoped he was holding himself together enough for both their sakes. She didn't need to say anything - the focus was all on getting out of here alive whilst saving as many as possible in the process. ...Impulsive kids included!
