Private Breaking and Entering

[Mio Ban]

32 / 130

Mio caught her breath, no longer needing to deal with being harried, she gradually found her center again before nodding to Selene with a wide grin. It seemed they succeeded. One guard left wasn't something that would be able to stop them now. Instead she gestured at Mio in an effort to try and paint Selene instead to aid her further. With a hand gesture, her hands drew ink along her partner's body over injuries or cuts before fading away and revealing healthy flesh.

Of course, seeing his partner go down, the guard couldn't help feel a bit demoralized. Seeing the effort he'd put into trying to fight the woman who took down his boss only made things worse. Gritting his teeth though, the man tried to continue the fight, no longer just wanting to win, but at least wanting to try and bring down at least one of his foes for the comradery he shared with the pair who went before him.

The feeling of paint being applied to her body, over the top of her wounds, which began to soothe and close as the paint applied some kind of healing magic to her, made Selene sigh in relief, which was interrupted as the remaining guard swung at her again, seeming quite angry or demoralized about everything that was happening. Not that she could really blame him, if she was being perfectly honest with herself about it. She'd be pretty pissed too if somebody showed up and beat up her friends for seemingly no good reason at all.

Still, that didn't mean that she couldn't still attack him, snarling as she lashed out with her blade, again trying to bludgeon the man's chest until the force, blunted by his armor, knocked the wind out of him and drove him into unconsciousness just like his allies.

Mio exhaled heavily, it seemed like things were coming to a close. In an effort to help land the final blow, Mio helped by raising her hand once more in the direction of the guard, this time thinking she'd do her best to try and help take him out and put him within range for Selene to handle. With a swipe of her hand she tried to reduce the guard to a range where Selene might be able to finish things.

Part of Mio had already begun looking around the block to try and find their target in question. It was too early to relax with an opponent still conscious but he seemed to be on his last legs so Mio didn't invest too much thought into a fight she knew Selene could easily take on.

Taking another blow from the pair, the Guard was on his last legs, making a last ditch effort to try and fight. It was an honorable effort but at the same time the poor man had simply run out of options. Armed with only a small club, surrounded by the pair he was once protecting the block with, there was little to be done. Instead, his efforts to go down fighting were certainly admirable in their own way.

Things were so close to being finished and Selene could feel it, as an attack from Mio lanced out at the guard from behind her, wounding him more. She was so certain that he would finally go down to her next attack, as she planted her feet and raised her blade up high, both hands gripping the hilt as she returned her sheath to her belt, teeth grit as power pumped through her body, the protective energies from Mio keeping her safe from a counterattack.

"Give up already!" She snarled, before she lowered her hands, bringing her blade down against the guard, so certain that she'd impact with his head and send him to the floor unconscious. Instead, she grunted as he caught her blow with his club, reducing much of the force behind it, leaving her gaping and blushing with embarrassment at her finishing blow amounting to so little.

Mio chuckled at Selene's efforts, some bad luck and perhaps desperation leading to a near miss in finishing the man. Instead, Mio advanced casually with a soft spin, used her fox tail to bat the man out of consciousness before settling once more after her pirouette. "It's alright, I've got him." She spoke, trying to puff her chest out as if she were being heroic, and while the effort might be a little silly, her wounded state might be better proof of her heroism then her playful finishing move. Despite her injuries, she was still able to move, though pained as she was she tried to keep her attention on the task at hand.

"Alright then, Selene, could you drag these guys to some corner? I wouldn't tie them up too tight or anything but just out of the way where they might not be found for a bit?" She spoke, thinking it was better to not tie them up in the event nobody found them, instead letting them come too naturally later on might be best. "In the mean time I'll find our friend and get started on trying to get the tips I need?" She asked giving Selene a gentle pat of encouragement, hoping she wouldn't worry too much about that final blow.

[Selene]

Watching Mio advance after her attempted final attack had proved to be ineffective, with one quick swing of a tail, the remaining guard was batted into unconsciousness, his club dropping to the ground as his body went limp, clattering to the floor. It allowed Selene to breathe a sigh of relief, panting as she regained control of her breathing and turned to face Mio, shaking her head and chuckling at the woman's playful posturing, like she was some kind of hero. And to be completely honest, Mio really had been saving her butt there multiple times when she'd accidentally left herself open. And the beastkin had gotten wounded for it too.

Selene flushed, glancing away with something of a huff. "Right. I probably won't tie them up at all, not exactly carrying a bunch of rope around with me at the minute. Plus, leaving them tied up might send the wrong kind of message and stuff. I'll just find a nice, comfy corner to deposit them in." She grabbed Iron Hammer by his ankles, beginning to slowly drag him away, though she stopped at Mio's side and gave the girl a pat on the back.

"Don't be so reckless next time, okay? You got really beat up trying to look after me. I got worried there for a minute or two." Her hand moved to Mio's shoulder, giving it a squeeze, before she moved her hands back to Iron Hammer's ankles to drag him away. A few moments later, she returned to retrieve the other guards, essentially piling them together in the corner on top of one another whilst Mio did whatever it was that she needed to do.

"And next time, I won't try to leave so many openings so you don't have to focus on protecting me to your own detriment."

Mio chuckled a little at the woman's question shaking her head firmly. When Selene told her not to be so reckless, Mio would lean in and try to press her lips to the girl's cheek with a broad grin. "That depends on whether you'll need help again~ Next time you can protect me instead~" Mio tried to tease before turning to set about her own work, tail shaking back and forth as she went.

Unfortunately, her negotiation attempts didn't go too well when she did finally spot the man, every bit the elderly balding individual he was in the picture, despite her best efforts to appeal though or even sell him a favor, as she originally feared, he wanted to escape, and be escorted. Mio almost sighed burdensomely, but in the end relented, if it was for her treasure she'd do it at least. With her hands up she began trying to separate the bars from the wall using her ink to erase some portions of the connecting bars to create space. Afterwards she would let the man walk out before turning towards Selene. "We'll have to get him out then he'll share the info with me." She exhaled a heavy sigh wishing it would have been easier.

Mio began making plans in her head about how to pull him out of the well on the other side when they made it through the cavern, but at least for now the hard part was over. With a smile she turned to Selene giving the girl a bright thumbs up for the job well done.
