Rook let out a yelp of surprise when Lily collided with her from above, convinced for a moment that they really were surrounded by this Marius fellow and his henchmen!  

Not yet realizing that she knew her attacker, Rook quickly snatched up one of the arrows that had fallen loose from the quiver during the fall and had it knocked to her bow string almost by the time she was back to her feet.  "Kaiden!" she yelled again, barely keeping the note of panic from her voice.  She was still unaware that her companion was in a battle of his own.  The archer held the bow with the string pulled halfway back, disheveled hair falling down across her right eye while she swept the arrow tip in the general direction of the strangers, intent on lodging the sharpened projectile into the gut of whichever "attacker" came toward her first.
