[ ... then he'll. he'll be a dumbass and step forward. it might be best, anyway, since he doesn't have a weapon and won't come off as intimidating.

GOOD PLANS, RIGHT?

he holds his hand out for the other two to stay back a moment and keep an eye on the situation ]

[He doesn't even realize he's holding his breath right now as he's watching this]

[ Coming a bit close up behind Cascade because boy, if you think you're going to step closer to weird children holding strange thing alone, no. He's still letting him take the lead tho.

He's pretty much ready to grab him by the collar or swing. ]

[The good news: Cascade is close to enough to see it fairly clearly!

The bad news: It's a scythe, and being that close means he's in it's range.

The worse news: The child holding it looks decidedly... off. The weapon is being raised now, as if to swing.

Think fast.]

[ while he's smart and all, he is still not a land mammal and speed isn't his thing, but he is going to stumble back (into Rook??) ]

[ Well he was ready to grab Cascade by the collar.

So.

DOING THAT AND YANKING, jumping back himself. ]

Back the way we came!

Let's go!

[And he will turn and wait to know the others are on the way too]

Jeeze...Back the way we came!

[ Making sure Cascade is ahead of him when they turn around, juuuust in case that child is advancing, because he will parry with his scythe if he has to. ]

[He avoids the worst of the blow that way, but the scythe still gives him a nasty gash on his leg. Sorry Cascade RNG hates you.

It's not bad enough that he can't walk, but it'll definitely slow him down.]

[ stumbling from that as he's trying to escape children and yes, wincing and stumbling from the pain. it takes him a moment to be able to get his footing, but it's amazing what adrenaline can do.

he's gritting his jaw hard not to yell out over the pain and limping the best he can. SORRY TEAM ]

[ And this is why next time someone armed should step forward WAY TO GO CASCADE.

Rook is going to get behind him so nothing else catches up to him. ]

[ HE THOUGHT IT WOULD PROVOKE THEM IF SOMEONE WITH A WEAPON APPROACHED. it seemed logical.

he'll take any yelling later ]

[He's making sure to be in front of Cascade just to be safe if something pops up in front of them too]

[ So I guess we're backtracking and heading right now?

Also are the children still following or. ]

[You can hear them following, giggling and whispering. They haven't caught up to you yet - and as you reach the fork in the road, their voices stop entirely.]

[ Stopping, in that case. If only briefly, so he can puff out a breath and turn his attention to Cascade. ]

--Are you okay?!

[When stopping is a thing, he makes sure to look to Cascade, same question in his eyes, but also looking around in case those kids showed up again]

[ frowns and leans on his good leg, bleeding from the wound ]

...I can't run. It hurts, but I can walk. [ swallows hard ] I thought approaching with a weapon might provoke them. Sorry.

It's okay. Things are going to get provoked either way, it seems. If we run into anything else, we'll do the opposite.

[ Pulling one of the belts from his uniform off, as well as tearing a piece so he can at least get the bleeding stopped. :T ]

[ appreciates the bandaging ]

It seems like it. I'll keep my eye out and be more careful.

We'll head up to the right now. And take our time. If we need to run again though ... it might hurt, but try your best to if we have to. I'll keep you safe.

I'll keep up the best I can.

[ and hey, look, at least he isn't being sacrificial like he might have been in the past, saying things like "leave me behind if I become a burden" ... that's a good thing, right? ]

If y'need me to, I should be able to carry you.

[Because same height sure, but he's still strong enough, he's sure.]

[ shakes his head ]

It would be better if you kept the scythe than than carry me. Better to have you capable than carrying me.

[ easier to keep everyone safe ]

...But thank you.

[ And once they're reoriented, heading to the right this time!!!!! Please be better....... ]
