P.O.V- Seamus
Yet another Monquistan warrior falls dead as Subodai stabs him in the chest with his sword. Blood flows from the enormous stab wound Subodai created on his body as the poor idiot lands rather roughly on the cold stone floor of the Presidio's wall. Bonnie and Sara are slowly killing off Monquistans in their own section of our assigned corner. You see, they have a strategy for killing off things in groups. Sara will get all up in their faces with her two daggers while Bonnie stays farther back and uses her sharpshooting skills to get the ones Sara doesn't notice. Basically Sara will stab them in the face while Bonnie shoots them in the background like a sniper. It's a pretty genius plan; it hasn't failed yet.
Currently I'm stabbing a Monquistan to death with my twin daggers. They aren't the most powerful weapons in the Spiral, but they sure do get the job done. A couple stabs to the chest is all it takes to get the moron down. A once powerful Monquistan warrior is now nothing more than a pile of flesh and blood at my feet. It's kind of pathetic really, dying at the hands of a teenage pirate with practically no fighting experience whatsoever.
I'll be honest here, my mind isn't at all focused on killing these douche monkeys. Oh no, my mind is elsewhere, somewhere I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be. 'He was so... warm. Much warmer than I expected...' I remember the warmth of his chest as it was pressed against my back; I remember the strength of the arm that wrapped itself protectively around my mid-section as I almost stepped blindly into danger. 'I always assumed he was strong, but...'
"Captain!" My thoughts are interrupted as I hear a shout being directed at me. Right when I turn to face the sound of that oh-so-familiar voice, I see a Monquistan with his spear raised in my direction. In my panicked state, I raise my hands in front of my face in a weak attempt to protect myself. This proves to be an unnecessary action as a blade slices off the monkey's head right before my eyes. Its head goes flying in whatever direction as its bloody body lies to rest at the feet of its assailant. Some of the monkey's blood stains my shirt, but I don't stop to think about that. It's not that large of an amount, anyway.
A hand comes to rest on my shoulder as the assailant asks, "Are you alright, captain?" Fighting down an oncoming blush, I manage to respond. "I'm ok, Subodai. Thanks." Subodai looks like he's about to say something, but isn't able to as he's cut off by a pair of female voices. "Captain! Captain!" Sara shrieks as she and Bonnie appear in front of us. "Are you alright? We heard Subodai scream 'Captain!', and we got worried." Bonnie explains. "I'm fine, ladies. No need to worry about me." I reply while trying to maintain my clam facade. A look of pure relief washes over their faces. "Captain, it looks like Victoria's crew has got the last corner covered." Subodai announces. Sure enough, as I turn around I see the Mighty Trio committing a mass monkey murder in the nearby corner.
