*Celeana nodded at the confirmation, thought she didn't entirely buy the words she spoke. Anyone with a wound like that would need medical attention rather quickly. The roots was all she needed to see to convince her to rush forward towards the boy. Judging from the yell from the other room, Horace seemed to be handling the other two well enough. Celeana held the sickle'd end off to the side before slashing upwards at Nodako's torso. The sooner that they gained the number's advantage, the more likely they all had at survival. Celeana wrapped the chained side around Nodako's ankle to ensure their combat remained within arms distance from one another.*

*Horace would seem to hesitate as he finds his new opponent. A young girl, seeming barely more than a teen. This might actually hurt him more than it hurt her... The worst part was her acceptance of it, as she trails off and let's his face glide to her face.*

*Fortunately for Asake, the Elf's unease coupled with Hakaze's attack causes Horace to miss his punch. The thief barely recovering in time as he dodges out of the way of the Trenton's blade.*

"What the hell is a kid doing here...?"
*He asks himself, glaring at the red haired girl in the back. Horace shakes his head, quickly pushing himself into a guarded stance. Practicing his fleet footwork and punching the air with deadly blows, working his blood flow up.*

"I'm not gonna feel nearly as good at decking a little kid in the face as I am you big guy. Get her out, before she gets hurt in a way you'll both regret."
Edwin
*The girl's legs began to shake as she was paralyzed by fear. Who was this man? Why was he with her? Was he a killer as well? The girl quickly moves away after being prompted to do so, too frightened to cast another spell.*
John
"You get away from my daughter first."

*The armored man raises his sword high. He had been careless. Asake could have ended up hurt, or even killed.*
Carmel
*Nodako leans back to avoid the sickle, trying to bring his weapons up as a safeguard. However, the roots obscure his movement, causing the scythe to rake across his chest. Yelling out in pain, the treton struggles to hold onto his tanto.*
Judy
"NODAKO!"

*Dashing after Celeana, Yakaiyo puts herself in between Nodako and the steppe elf. Tears stream from her face, her expression of confusion, fear, pain.*

"Please, don't hurt him!"
Clara
"Daughter...? Who brings their kid to-..."

*Horace seems to cut himself off, quickly looking to the door he came from. A scream? It sounded like Yakaiyo... Don't tell me Cereana was already down?!*

"Sure thing big guy... I'll be going-"

*Horace says as he quickly charges into Hakaze. Instead of an attack however, the elf slips past the warrior using some tempo and Right behind you. Continuing on his way as he runs back to the place he'd heard a scream from.*

"Are you guys alright?!"
