The bolt Hiecro had fired hit the unconscious thug with the arrow in his knee, the cylindrical tip crumpling and transmuting into dozens of silvery, molten fragments that quickly saw the man's body coated in metal. The gung-ho police knight had already begun to reload when Donny asked his question.

"You can if you want, though I doubt it's going to help you against Leona. Aesch will tell you more, but all those rumors about her being plate-proof? There's some truth to them. For all we know the antiques might be more effective." The male police knight answered with an explanatory tone as he turned to face Kael in response to the young archer's inquiry, raising his crossbow and taking aim as he finished speaking - his tone of voice still casual and relaxed.

"Not for you, straggler. Don't let Charon paddle your ass on the way down the Styx." The police knight quipped, pulling the crossbow's trigger. As the cylindrical bolt began its flight through the air, it became immediately apparent that 'the other three' Hiecro had alluded to included some amongst the passengers' number - specifically those who were not accounted for and expected amongst them, which included Kael - who seemed to have been abruptly sentenced to death for having the misfortune to have been at the scene with the others. This made sense after considering that there was nobody else left alive who the knights could possibly be referring to...

If Amelie raised a redirection orb to deflect the bolt the male police knight had fired at Kael, Hiecro finishes pulling back on the lever for her crossbow and fires another of the deadly, shrapnel-projecting bolts at the young magician. 

If Amelie failed to raise a redirection orb to protect Kael, Hiecro turns to her and issues a withering threat. "Start running. I'll give you five steps. I could use the practice."
