In the chaos of battle, it was hard for Catarina to argue. She didn't want to leave Vivian alone for obvious reasons: while she was no doubt a mighty spellcaster, if these things got too close to her then Vivian was dead. While Catarina's fears were slightly alleviated when Vivian turned her skin into stone, she was still uncertain. But uncertainty created hesitation, and hesitation would lead to death. While she found many of her party members to be very stupid for various reasons, Vivian seemed to have her head on straight. At the very least, she knew what it took to survive, which was more than could be said of the others. [color=fff79a]"Right. If you need help, just shout!"[/color] Catarina took out her shield and charged at the other gargoyle, hoping to kill it quickly.

Catarina knew her weapon could kill these things, even if she had to put more strength into it. But with all of the converging onto her Catarina couldn't afford to be careless about her defenses either. So when she charged the gargoyle she charged with her shield forward to deflect any of it's attacks it would try to do. She would try to impale it on the spike on her shield, though it was only made of regular steel and didn't have any magic. If that attack didn't work she would follow up with stabbing with [i]Domina[/i], which should work better.

The knight did see another Gargoyle get ready to attack Vivian, which made her want to go protect her. But until she killed this gargoyle her hands were rather full. She needed help. They needed to work together. She didn't want to do this, but her pride would have to be set aside for now. There were lives on the line. [color=fff79a]"Malkai! Help us!"[/color]
