Fer saved his breath instead of trying to answer the obvious taunt sent by the guy who had managed to be lucky enough to just miss his knee being cracked by the point of the small kite shield. Expecting a downward strike Fer presented the shield to the attacking axe. He reached up to grab the man by the fore arm and planting his feet, he rose forcefully using his right shoulder as a pivot point, he used his enhanced strength to throw the man to the ground.

The motion of the man's body sailing through the air would break up the small crowd that was gathering around Auriel and him. If he was successful, Fer would follow up with a downward blow with the edge of his shield against the man's wind pipe.  If his throw as not successful, he would attempt to at least unbalance the man and with a side ways kick disrupt him further hopefully knowing the bandit to the ground. 

He would then move to Auriel's back and block any sort of attack that would come from that side. He would call back to her without loosing sight of the attacking me.  [color=0054a6]"Lady, may I have this dance? I block you strike?"[/color]  the plan again was simple, he had performed the same technique with Cole. He would bock the attack and spin to let the winged warrior's spear take advantage of the opening and strike.  The constant motion would glint off any strikes and would prevent the attacking group from overwhelming them.  

The young Shield Hero felt a surge of energy and a feeling that could only be describe as happy.  He had fought many battles before and while he had care for the lives of the people with him, he had never felt any closeness to them.  Yet here, today, he wanted nothing more than to protect Auriel and Cole and at the same time be of use to them to achieve victory.

He held his shield ready and as if to embody what he was feeling, the green gem flashed warningly towards any would be attackers.  He half smiled/half snarled at the bandits. [color=0054a6]"Step right up gentlemen, I think my friend here has something for you."[/color]  Then in a joking manner that seemed to be an outlet for how dire the situation was yelled out.  [color=0054a6]"Cole, when you are done playing we could use your help in taking out your share of the trash" [/color]
