Quin jumped out of the way of her opponents attack. Her bow hand twitched, Moonlit Striker having been knocked out of it just moments earlier. In her other hand was an elegant hunting knife of unknown origin. Her partner on her shoulder.
"Damn... You holding in there, Espeon?" Quin asked her partner.
"I am, and you don't have to use such language, Quin." Espeon replied.
"I'll use it if I want to, Espeon. That Drajl knocked my bow out of my hand." Quin jumped around the next attack, dashing towards where the silver bow lay. "Besides, why is he attacking us anyway? This was just supposed to be a normal meeting."
Espeon jumped off her shoulder. "Quin, when is anything in our lives normal?"
Quin recovered Moonlit Striker and notched an arrow. "Barely ever, but i refuse to give up my life over something as stupid as a spilled drink. Astra!" Quin released the arrow, which split into five beams of light. "Lets see him dodge that."
The beams all hit their mark, pinning the attacker to the ground. "Good shot as always, Quin," Espeon told her.
"No thanks to you, though," Quin sighed, "But i guess i should thank you for that warning. Without it, I might have died."
Espeon nodded, "It's a dangerous world we live in. Did you get the info you needed?"
Quin held up a map. "I did. The artifact we are looking for is here," she pointed to an X, "which is about three days travel. Shall we get started?" Quin unstrung Moonlit Striker and retrieved her arrows, putting both in a quarrel on her back.
Espeon looked at his trainer with a slight look of excitement. "If this artifact can help us, of course!"
