Taking a deep breath, Silver drained some energy from Alan's bindings. While he might have tried doing it to his own, the problem is that he lacks the experience to draw out a meaningful amount from them. However, if he weakens Alan's bonds, and uses the energy to sharpen the nuke in his hand... As the silver aura enveloped the sword, he tilted the blade as far as he could against the binds and started sawing at it. Due to how sharp the sword is, and the fact they lost a little strength, he could see a visible notch in it. Grinning, he nodded. It's working. "Once I've cut through it, you'll have to take care of the rest," he told him.<br/>---<br/>"Right," Alex said, shooting a blade into the head of each bandit that tried to sneak up on them.
