Cyrus/Merri/Emily/Scarlet - Fighting the elemental
The inability to make any sound at all was inconvenient, but ultimately, Cyrus chose to ignore it. He could probably take the time to remove the effect, but the battle at hand seemed more pressing. In any case, he didn't need his voice to be distracting -- nor did he need it to be effective.
A few solid thwhacks with his pole were not as impactful as he might have hoped, but they helped to split the enemy's attention, and the other fighter's sword seemed adequate enough.
She also looked a little winded.
Fortunately, he could form the words of Chakra without making any sound at all -- hopefully, with how close they both stood to the enemy, it would revitalize her and give her new energy, be it for physical attacks or magicks.
