Re: Ouside Sphinx house - Aika and Jack
Jack looked her over, knowing that Phoenixes, at the very least, had a strong spirit. But their bodies could be bent, broken, battered. And out here, Aika was vulnerable. Even if she served as a combat medic, he doubted these creatures cared for the Geneva Conventions. They would cut her down.
But she wanted to help. And they needed help right now. He couldn't keep the students out of this, even if he wanted to. They were already in the thick of it.
"Very well," Jack said. "But we're going to station you at the castle entrance, not out here in the open. You'll be cut down in moments. Can that one be moved? Otherwise, get to work now and I'll cover you." Jack brandished his club.
