She'd drawn blood, her sword slashing across the creature's throat - A shallow, but gouting cut! As the creature reeled back, Lucille moved to follow-up...But she had to raise her shield as the other gnoll lunged, the spear's blade chiming as it clattered against her shield-! Before Lucille could close to the distance, the wounded gnoll was flung aside by the leader - And<em>now</em>the lovely Paladiness had two opponents to deal with, blocking just in time.<br/><br/>A soft hiss thrummed from her silky throat...This could be trouble. One was own, but two? That would be rather more tricky...And she was worried about Haruna, too! Lady Lucille was in armor - Haruna only had her sword. If she didn't hurry...<br/><br/>"Oh my-!"<br/><br/>...And<em>then</em>Lady Lucille was very, very distracted indeed - Her eyes going wide, her lips curving in an 'O' of surprise as her cheeks flushed with heat! Her gaze was caught - and<em>held</em>- by the Gnoll Lord's cock...Her sleek throat working as she swallowed, hard, attraction flitting across her lovely features...Before she shook her head to clear it, tightening her grip on her sword! Gods, what an incredible creature...If only it wasn't-<br/><br/>She nearly paid for that, when the glaive clanged against her shield - Enough to drive her a step back! A heartbeat later, when Haruna's cry of pain rang out - Lucille twisted, trying to see what'd befallen! "H, haruna?" she called - She couldn't make out what was happening in the gloom! From the looks of it, however...Haruna wasn't doing so well!<br/><br/>She bit her lip - Her brow furrowing, ever-so-slightly, easing her shield down...Her pulse coming faster, faster, a cold thrill racing up her spine! "...If I go with you," Lucille said, her voice firm - though she couldn't hide the husky lilt to it, the way her gaze roamed over the gnoll lord! - "Let her go, and I'll come...Willingly."<br/><br/>She'd promised to keep Haruna safe - She had to make sure Haruna got away!
