He snapped his head towards her and gave a hard stare for several seconds. Torches were just now starting to be lit around the camp, but the oppressive winter gloom hung heavy in the air like a shroud, obscuring much. The contrast, however, simply made the clarity of the Xaela's gleaming emerald eyes that much more lucid. As soon as he registered the stern woman's query passed, the hesitation vanished: Kasrjin possessed a function and an objective. Everything else would fall into place later.
He glanced at the group of aevis. The knights, having been apparently roused by their superiors, formed into an organized shield wall on both sides. As the Dravanians used the close quarters to their advantage, so too did the armoured soldiers. Even so, the force with which the aevis whipped their mace-like tails was more than enough to stagger the formation as even with their fellows behind them and their feet planted in the ground, the impact threatened to split the metal bulwarks apart, and within the tight confines of the battlement, the aevis managed to easily bat away the threat of most weapons. Spears were splintered and their swords lacked the range.
"Break the encirclement," Kasrjin rumbled. He withdrew the massive greatsword over his shoulder, the loose harness flipping nearly parallel with his head to allow the weapon into his hands. "Only one opening is needed." Though, the Au Ra wasn't entirely sure of how to do that. The intimidating length of blued steel in his hands would, in theory, be relatively effective compared to the swords and spears of the knights, but another problem remained. With the sheltron formation on either side of the azure rock, it would be needlessly difficult for him to wade his way through in order to enter melee range with the aevis.
He glanced at the stern woman again. "I require the warriors to disperse. This is a stalemate. A momentary diversion to distract the dragons is necessary."
