Her gaze was heavy with concern as she slowly sat up. A light energy dome warping into existence under her movement.
Raph's gaze sparked in surprise.
"Oh? You still had an artefact with a shield function?"
Thalia glanced at him with a raised brow, then scoffed.
"What do you take me for? Obviously."
"Hmm~" Raph mused.
'Must be one of Elder Sister Fiona's tower artefacts.'
Glancing to the sides, he identified the unconscious bodies.
'Monica Lorientt, Felicia Dreau and…Sophie..'
He tilted his head at Thalia.
"Interesting line-up."
She glanced around with a shrug.
"Sometimes, you fight with what you're dealt, not what you planned."
Raph's brows twitched slightly as he folded his hands. "True."
The flow of the battlefield was one thing that was difficult to predict.
Sometimes we're thrown into situations where we may have to forage for a victory for ourselves.
Other times, we face opponents with partners we never thought could synchronise.
