Honestly, he didn't mind that their mind was on the right track. He could hear that Maybell was questioning how far away they need to go. He didn't exactly memorize the map in its entirety so he wondered as well. Though, he wasn't exactly going to complain even if it was far away. He was rather sure that this trip wasn't exactly going to be very short. At least the mission kept his mind out of certain things while he walked down the forest. Then, they heard the piercing scream of a young boy. Francis immediately felt like he needed to do something and rushed forward. He saw Rhaya do the same thing. They went on to distract the Jeweled Hornets and they turned their attention to them. Francis took out his sabre when the Hornets turned to them. When one of the Hornets tried to stab him, he dodged the attack successfully and tried to pivot and strike the Hornet. Though, he magnificently missed and he clicked his tongue. Well, no use crying for spilled milk. He'd just have to do something else. He pressed his hand against his sabre and chanted.

He then backed away for a moment, eyes darting at the boy who was cowering to the side. They needed to get him out of the fire of battle. But they'd have to deal with the Hornets as well. Francis shuffled backwards slowly, waiting for the Hornet's strike and what else his companions had planned on doing.
