Cassie took this time to sit up, taking out yet another weapon from her space, which in turn made the man's eyes twitch. "Another one? Where do you get all these at your level?" he asked, eyes greedily looking at the weapon, though Cassie didn't bother to answer him.
This was the third weapon she took out. Her grandmother used much of her savings from working under Lenny to give her an extra weapon, which indeed ended up becoming a saving grace.
She also used this time to drink a health potion and a mana cookie, which also made the man's eye twitch.
Beside them, Jona took this time to take a breather. Jona rushed when she realized there were Alterans in there. She was in the area they burned down and was tasked to burn a few more to add a few more trouble (they had excess oil anyway) to distract the enemies for their teams.
This got longer than expected. No worries, Althea's popping up again next chap!
