[h2]Sir Tyaethe Radistirin[/h2] Good, ignoring the fairies until Indrau had done something to get all their attention had worked--and now they had a clear lead on where to go. Well... provided that they were certain that this was the same person, but if the fairies were going off of the feel of the magic rather than some vague recollection of somebody that had been seen in the area recently, she had considerably more confidence in their abilities. But for tactics... not knowing the sort of mage they were out to get made the planning a lot more difficult. Curses like the Earl's weren't practical for a battlefield and, if that was all that they needed to deal with, they just needed to prevent any attempts at fleeing. But hadn't someone been nearly taken out by a bolt of magic? In that case, it went the same way as dealing with most magic-wielding opponents... get in close and restrain them as soon as possible. Either way, they didn't want to be going in grouped up like this: "We should spread out. If they're any good at this, one spell could hit all of us." [hr] [h2]Lilianna Belwiss[/h2] Manning the defences... as usual, she was ill-equipped for such an exposed position. But assisting in the co-ordination of the Iron Roses with the townsfolk to not concentrate their forces too much in one place and leave some reserves in case of a (truly unexpected at this juncture) breach? That was something the duellist was well-trained to do. Which meant that the apparent absence of some knights was hers to correct. It had mostly been something minimal--getting something to drink after fighting in armour, having injuries tended to. But when she got to working out what [i]Fleuri[/i] was doing... well, the knight might feel the judgemental stare. Of all people, why was one of their youngest knights taking the time to babysit now? To her, this was quite unfair.
