"That would be the point I'm trying to get across," Emmerich sighed as he cut down a brigand.

"Look, I'll be fine, just keep your riding pants on, will you?" Felix said. "I'll be fine! We're all going to-"

"FELIX!" Emmerich was forced to dive in Felix's way. He tried to use his sword to parry a blow to Felix's side, but the axe slid down, cutting into the tendons on his arm, and forcing him to drop the weapon.

"Old man!" Felix exclaimed, quickly cutting down the bandit who'd hit Emmerich. "Shit, this isn't good..." He muttered, making a few quick strikes. The bandits weren't expecting the sudden moves and those that weren't down by the attacks were easy pickings for Katherine and even Emmerich, who wielded his spear in the off hand.

Before long, the circle of bandits was cleared, leaving no more than the leader. "Kate, I'm going to cut off the head! Can you attend to the old man?"

"Ugh..." Emmerich groaned. "You're an awful child, you know that?"

"Whatever, just let me handle the rest!" Felix said as he ran forward, dodging a throwing axe twice as he moved in.
