[@Caits]
Caius kept his fierce blue eyes at the witch, his stance guarded, ready to attack and unwilling to back down. There was only one thing on his mind. [i]Protect Callie.[/i] Nothing else mattered. His acute senses detected movement behind him as his witch stood up. He could hear her murmuring unfamiliar words. 

When the witch disappeared, Caius almost sagged forward with the pain. But he didn't need to bear it for long as Callie broke the hold of it on him. He sighed in relief. [color=turquoise]"Ugh. That hurt like hell,"[/color] he said as his eyes scanned the witch. He kissed her back and then pulled away to examine her. [color=turquoise]"Never mind about me. I'm actually tougher than I look. Are you okay?"[/color] he asked, worry evident in his voice.
