Tyaethe's counterattack failed to strike Fleuri or Klaus, but it gave the paladin enough space to reposition herself.  She's a surprisingly slippery one, Fleuri observed, a bit frustrated.  [i]And I suspect that if needed, she can do this all day and night, until we become tired or make a mistake, whatever comes first.[/i]  It was clear that he would need to become used to the prospect of fighting foes that do not share his human limitations.

Fleuri lifted his sword upward and took a position next to Klaus, warily watching Tyaethe, ready to bring his sword down the moment she moved within range.  This fight would require some coordination, and that in turn would require some communication.

"I've got your back.  Ready when you are, sister," he told Klaus, without turning his gaze away from Tyaethe- he knew better than to take his eyes off her even for a moment.  He himself was unsure exactly what they would do- they would figure it along the way- but whatever they did, they would need to be able to support each other in whatever they did, and to trust the other to do their part.
