One of the Savorasks leapt towards Eliza, teeth bared as if ready to attack... yet, Eliza saw this strike coming. Nay, she'd been waiting for such an attack. The Savorask was in the air... which, naturally, made it more susceptible to being knocked about. Readying her shield, Eliza put all her force into a shield bash. The attack hit its mark, sending the Savorask tumbling through the air - then back onto the ship, toppled over. Spying an opportunity, Eliza darted forth - her plan to attack the Savorask while it was vulnerable. Yet, the shieldbearer had made a miscalculation. As she got close to the enemy, she noticed that she'd lowered her shield... yet it was too late. The Savorask leapt up, claws at the ready, and swiped at Eliza's left shoulder, drawing blood.

[color=f26522]"D-damn...!"[/color] She winced, as a wave of pain rushed through her body. Eliza tried her best to shrug this off - and stepped back from the Savorask. Being up close wasn't a wise idea against a beast that was capable up close... especially if you didn't even have a melee weapon of some sort. [color=f26522][i]'Wait... I think I've got time to get my sword back!'[/i][/color]

Eliza attempted to clutch the wound on her left shoulder with her left hand, though it wasn't particularly efficient, as she rushed over to her blade - which lied off in the corner of the boat uselessly. [color=f26522][i]'I need to be quick... I need to hold the line!'[/i][/color] She told herself in her mind, grabbing her wooden blade off the ground once more. Pain surged through her body once again, but she knew that letting it hold her back - that doing such a thing would only lead to a worse outcome.

Now with both her sword and shield in hand, she found that the Savorask she'd been fighting was following in close pursuit. Having learnt her lesson from before, Eliza raised her shield to defend herself... yet, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed something of note. One of her new companions - who she knew not the name of - was on the ground, with a Savorask approaching them.

[color=f26522][i]'... I have to step in! I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't - ever!'[/i][/color] Eliza thought. [color=f26522][i]'Under my watch, nobody's getting hurt - I think I said something like that earlier, and I plan on sticking to it!'[/i][/color]

Eliza rushed from the Savorask she'd been fighting - to the one approaching the person on the ground. Readying her shield, she planned on blocking the Savorask from attacking the person on the ground. [color=f26522]"You alright?"[/color] Eliza inquired to the person, not turning away from the enemy Savorask. [color=f26522]"I'll hold these slimeballs off - I guarantee it!"[/color]

[color=f26522][i]'At least... I think I can hold them off.'[/i][/color] Eliza mulled. [color=f26522][i]'Well... let's just hope I don't get any worse than that cut from earlier...'[/i][/color]
