Your pardon! I am not green, I have fought them! [Indignant, before he adds, more conversationally--] Only with more stealth, and secret.
[That being said, Scipio is not always the most willing of pupils, or the most adept. But he is able to listen, and he is more than able to work at saving his own life. That. at least, is a cause that he feels passionately about.
And also: it all looks and sounds very heroic. Her cool line is duly appreciated, filed away to be put to song or story at a later date. The names that she names all mean very little, and will be little remembered, at least for now--but he observes her treatment of the darkspawn as she shoves it bodily over the edge of the stair.]
Oh! [Please, and impressed, Scipio leans over the edge of the stair to watch the thing fall.] You are good at this!
[Genlock. He tries to remember it as he faces forward again, and fixes sight on two of them, scrambling up the crumbling staircase. Inspired, dagger in hand, Scipio ducks ahead of Kaisa to meet the first darkspawn, and gives it a kick.
Not sideways, unfortunately. But still, it is effective. The darkspawn falls back, instead, into the one just behind it, and Scipio--perhaps too amused--laughs.[
