Faline gazed up as Torsten took a protective stance in front of her. She quickly glanced at Dorothea before she nodded at Torsten when he suggested covering his right side. Together, the two of them had taken down at least six bandits. Amandine seemed to be bouncing from tree to tree, taking out enemies effortlessly. 

Faline heard more cries of pain coming from the woods as half the bandits appeared to split up. Some still charged at them while others ran back into the forest. She quirked an eyebrow. That was an odd move for a bandit group. She kept on slinging arrows to keep bandits from flanking Torsten. Now that Faline was warmed up with her bow, her arrows hit almost precisely her targets. She moved away from Dorothea to get a better angle to cover Amandine as well.

The redheaded woman dodged and rolled away from an attacker. She gasped as she didn't have time to reload her bow. Faline bent backward as Torsten's sword sliced the man just in time. Blood from the attacker sprayed the two, but Faline sighed in relief. [color=f6989d]"Thank you, Torsten,"[/color] she spoke a bit breathless. 

Suddenly, a man with his hands held up came running out of the treeline towards them. Faline quickly disabled the bandits in the treeline that shot the arrows at the man. She blew a few pieces of her bangs out of her face and rolled her grass-green eyes at the flirting smile this man sent her way. Faline arched an eyebrow as the newcomer was shot. His image faded away and then reemerged from behind her. It was a typical illusion spell. 

[color=f6989d]" And here I thought we were going to avoid pretty boys today,"[/color] Faline spoke sarcastically as a wave of energy washed over them. [color=f6989d]"Who are you talking about? What old man?"[/color] She questioned the newcomer and then sharply inhaled as the pain from her wounds (thanks to arrows that nicked her) dissolved away. [i]Who blessed us?[/i] she thought as the bandits weren't on their onslaught. Those bandits that weren't unconscious or dead in the meadow retreated from the fight. 

Faline peered over the treeline and realized she lost sight of Amandine. She quickly glanced over the bodies and didn't see her lying on the ground. [color=f6989d]"Amandine, are you alright?!"[/color] Faline called out.
