[i]Good job, my boy![/i] Fiore's other consciousness said after Fiore struck down one of the creatures with such speed and grace, although this compliment had set Fiore into a bit of a panic state. 

[i]Yeah... thanks...[/i] Fiore thought in a mock tone. [i]When the hell did you start calling me "boy?"[/i] Fiore looked at Exalia, the corner of his mouth giving hint to a frown. Exalia was covered in some black-brown liquid, the blood of those... beasts. 

"Looks like I'll need to clean you after this... multiple times..." Fiore uttered under his breath as he looked back up, patiently awaiting for the fourth beast to arrive, and how many beasts that would arrive after that.

[i]What's the plan?[/i] Fiore asked.

[i]Try to strike simultaneously when Leifr and the new comer strikes, hopefully it'll be enough to finish the beast off, and if not, do a riposte just to make sure the beast is down and dead,[/i] Fiore's consciousness sounded firm, he sounded like he knew what he was doing. Fiore only shook his head ever so subtly. [i]If you're wondering... I'm fine, I promise, now get back to concentrating on the fight.[/i]
