"Silas!" Timpani shouted. She stopped fooling around then, and used all her strength to attack the soldiers around them. She didn't care what she was doing to those imbeciles, as long as they were incapacitated. Timpani completely ignored the groans of pain from fallen soldiers around her.
Soon nobody was close enough to attack, and Timpani fell to her knees beside Silas. She was slightly out of breath, which she had never experienced before... Silas must have accidentally used his power on her. But it affected Timpani much less than it would affect anyone else. Her super-endurance was only a tool she used to train. With it, she had trained endlessly until she was extremely athletic in every way, including natural endurance. It was how she compensated for her utter lack of more 'magical' powers like the mayor's telekinesis. It was why she and Silas made such a great team.
"We're going inside," she muttered and pulled Silas into her arms. The weather was getting even worse... it was hail now. "You're cold dammit. We need to get you to Tacet." She said Tacet's voice purposely, because she didn't trust Rowan.
"Wait. Which way is the mansion?"
Cadence turned around when her daughter grabbed her wrist. The warrior woman wasn't an affectionate type, but she relented when Guinevere hugged her. Cadence gently wrapped her arms around the girl and held her as she spoke. She didn't even interrupt her daughter.
"I'm going to fight my hardest for you, my baby girl," she said as she let go. Cadence smiled, a genuine smile, as she took Guinevere's dagger. A woman with telekinesis rarely used such weapons, but she would hang onto it anyway. It was bound to be useful eventually.
She was about to leave when the idiot kicked down her front door.
"Did that disgrace not heal you properly?" Cyprian growled, picking up Jaai as gently as possible and cradling her protectively. He was going to beat up that disgusting pathetic excuse of a healer. How dare Rowan try to murder his friends! That was the only thing Cyprian could think of right now. Murder.
He wasn't even considering that Rowan was sincerely trying to heal Jaai properly. He just hadn't finished before Cyprian rudely kicked him out. But Cyprian refused to consider the truth, because he just wanted to think the worst of Rowan. He needed someone to hate on right now.
"I swear..." Cyprian muttered darkly as he ran towards the house. He kicked in the front door. With a splintering sound of wood, it flew open and he rushed inside. "Where the disgrace is Tacet?"
"You do not speak like this in my house," Cadence scolded him sharply, rising to her feet.
"So manners make a person? Rowan has good manners, doesn't he? Well, the traitor is running around murdering people on his own side," Cyprian snapped.
Cadence never moved her hand, but Cyprian's head snapped sideways as something slapped him hard across the face. That woman had telekinesis.
"Challenge me one more time, and your father will be the least of your worries," Cadence hissed. "Get to the living room before you are no longer living."
Disgrace you, Cyprian thought as he stormed past her into the living room. He sat down on the couch, still holding Jaai and absentmindedly beginning to rub her back.
"You're gonna be fine, you're gonna be fine," he muttered, trying to reassure them both. "I think you oughta take a nap. You need one after that traitor tried to murder you. I'm gonna rip out his guts and strangle him with them."
He was hiding his fear with anger. In reality, Cyprian was terrified for Jaai and would have cried if he was alone.
