[color=598527]"Whew..."[/color] Cecilia allowed herself to relax as the fighting died down, the bandits either dead, incapacitated, or surrendered. The archer took a brief stock of her allies. Lein was helping Sir Hope, Lucas was getting scolded and saved by Flueri, that cute mage girl was busy turning bandits into a fried delicacy, Shanil was...well, maybe she should be glad Shanil decided not to seem to have heard her comment during the fight. Thankfully, captain Fanilly seemed just fine too. A little shaken, but otherwise she was in pretty good health from the looks of things.

Ease the suffering of the dying though, eh?

[color=598527]"Ahaha, captain's pretty merciless."[/color] Cecil glanced at some incapacitated bandits, frowning as she'd nervously finger Shael's bowstring. She had no problems fighting when it came to protecting herself or others, but...maybe it would be a mercy to end their suffering, but she didn't exactly like doing it. She'd leave that to the healers or others to take care of. She had been told her previous orders still stood, anyways.

[color=598527]"Aye, captain!"[/color] Cecilla shouted back to their leader. A quick glance at Lucas who was now gawking at Morianne caused her to chuckle lightly. Well, he had good taste in appearance at least. Maybe she would tease him about it later, but for now she had her orders. Finding Sir Hope was easy enough. It was hard to miss the guy for multiple reasons. Namely because Shael seemed to be incredibly confused by him. 

[color=598527]"Hope...heh, hope you don't mind working together."[/color] Cecilia chuckled as she'd wave the pretty boy over, approaching where he was standing. [color=598527]"I'd suggest having your spirits scout from above while I cover the ground. You can alert me to anything they see and I can hopefully take 'em out quietly if I have to."[/color] She'd turn towards Fanilly, offering the captain her usual grin and a two fingered salute. [color=598527]"Don't worry about a thing, captain. We'll be back soon even if I have to drag the pretty boy back."[/color] Truthfully though, she was somewhat concerned despite her flippant attitude. They knew they were here. What other traps did they have laid, if any? Or had they just gotten unlucky and this ambush was meant for someone or something else?

Well, no use in worrying about it. She had her orders and she wasn't one to question them really.

[color=598527]"And Lucas, just staring won't get ya anywhere!"[/color] She'd shout playfully to the young knight before heading off down the road a little ways before disappearing in the underbrush hopefully followed by her fellow knight.
