Ceres just smiled, then silently mouthed the words 'We'll talk after' to Soanala, Shortly before the first of the Elite guards charged into the Room, sword up and ready to cleave into his foes. However, he didn't expect to be attacked on each side at once, Ceres' long knife sliding between the plates of his armour to Dig into his Liver, while Soa's powerful spear Slammed, point-first into the side of the warrior's helm, splitting the metal and crushing his skull, killing the soldier instantly.<br/><br/>Ceres, pulling her knife free, picked up the longsword the warrior had dropped, and readied herself, crouching slightly and holding the sword in a vertical position, ready to swing hard at the next guard's midsection as soon as he edged into reach. "So, Soa, Why is it that I vex you so often, other than my penchant for swiping the items you have set upon being yours?"<br/><br/>Ceres grinned, taking a swing at the second guard, but missing, and embedding the sword into the doorframe, turning the weapon into a waist-high barrier until it was forced free or battered aside. Pulling the knife she had used earlier from her belt, she grinned, waiting for the guards to attack again, and for Soa to answer.
