[Unfortunately for you, Sheena, Zelos felt that hiccup of fear in the emotional link. He staggers back a second and doesn't get to stop Sheena from rushing on ahead, leaving him reaching for her with half a protest in his mouth which he then drowns with a curse. Shit--his driver is scared of lightning. And she just went to take on the lightning-based blade on her own. Well, this is fucking great. Great! Fucking great.]
"Of course I can! Just don't get yourself killed!"
[Zelos still has his sword summoned in his hand, so when the humanoid, fire-wielding blade lunges at him with her summoned sword taken from her driver, he manages to parry the first hit. But he's off-balance. He's pushed back a little and the next hit manages to slash him on the shoulder; he cries out in pain for a second before he bites that back down, and then his instincts kick in and he blocks the next hit, holding the blade right there. Swords now locked, Zelos shoves as much of his own ether into his sword as he can until it's pooled in dangerous, harmful amounts, and then sends a blast out in the radius, mindful of Sheena's signature so that this spell does not get her.
It's a debuffing ability that should exhaust the blades in the vicinity and feel like a slow-creeping poison to any human. It should've hit the cat-like blade Sheena's dealing with. Hopefully. It's the least Zelos can do for her right now.
He watches the blade in front of him gasp and stagger, and when her weight is off his blade, he shoves her back.] "What do you think you're doing, huh?!" [he calls out, glowing, orange ether particles leaving his body where she cut him. He gestures at the injury, sneering.] "You're in deep shit now, you know that?! You just hurt government property!"
Birth of a Wish plays in the distance
