"Do you think you got him?" Merida swallowed, shifting her attention around to the various systems and monitors that needed her attention.
James' reply came back light hearted. "Nope. You know the rules. No body, no death." He turned his head to grin back at her.
She scoffed and kicked him in the shoulder, lightly of course, which drew a feigned yelp from the man. "Don't you start! He can wait. Sofie needs us."
James turned his attention to the fight against the Zelvoid, pushing his visor up to sit better on his nose. For the moment, he was torn. His every instinct screamed to rush to her aid, to defend her from the disfigured monster baring down on her. Yet... Baby birds had to learn to fly. "She'll be fine. We taught her well. She needs to do this, and it buys time. Begin the preparations to activate the sphere. If she starts to flounder we'll jump in."
"But-" Merida's breath caught in her chest. He had a point, she hated to admit. A point that sat like bitter bile in her chest. She sighed and nodded. "Alright. Keep an eye out for your friend then..."
"You got this kiddo. Just keep him distracted. On my mark, break away and we'll execute the plan." His voice range clear; encouraging and proud to his daughter over the com system, only for her.
