Dolosus ducked down and looked at the sky when he heard Yume cry out. Most of the arrows were aimed at the middle of the Union's formation, and since the Hedge Knights were at the flank, only a few arrows hit them. It was just bad luck.
He rushed over to Yume to check her wound. Alyssa was right, it wasn't deep, but she'd be out of the battle. Dolosus nodded to Jallas ((did I get it right this time, Deselin? :P)), and said: "Good idea. She's going to be out of the combat for a few days." He finished checking the wound, and stood up.
"Knights," he said, trying to restore order. "We have a change of plans. We can't seperate, and we're not a good fighting force missing two of our men. Since this is just a diversion battle, we're not needed on the frontlin--" He froze for a second, then coughed to hide it and continued, "Ahem, the frontlines. We're all going to the medic tent and hold that position. I have a feeling in my gut that this battle isn't all it seems to be." He frowned back at the Imperial Order. "They wouldn't just waste arrows like that. The thunderstorm is going to whip up the sand and all of those arrows will be lost." He shook his head. "Something's wrong here. We're heading back. Can Yume walk?"
