He grinned. "Works for me." He could use a workout today, and besides, he wanted to dedicate the strength in his Jewels for maintaining her shield. So where he had used Craft to kill the ones he fought so far, from her eon out he would use more martial means for the most part. He dropped the overarching shield, and drew his blade through the leg of one of the goblins that had been trying to force a way through the magic. He wasn't Yaslana. Any of the Yaslanas. Without adding craft top muscle he lacked the raw strength to cleave the creature in half. But sometimes two good strikes could help make the others think about charging him. So one swing for the leg and the other a sweep with the flat, as the goblin fell to use its own momentum to fling it back at one of the other gobbos. He didn't glance back to see how she was doing. He trusted her at his back, and he would know if her shield fell, since it was his power feeding it. So he would fight until there were no more to fight.
