Well, he didn't need to be told twice. Not for the first time, he was glad he'd started carrying a second sword since rejoining the gang. Most of their fights involved being outnumbered and two weapons went some way towards evening the score. He kept an eye out for Rosetta, trying to fight back to back with her to prevent opponents sneaking up on them unseen, but there were plenty of visible enemies to be going on with. She was accounting for herself well though - her skill with a knife rivalled her expert bowmanship.
He dodged a swordstroke that whizzed past his ear and thanked God that Rosetta was a few inches shorter than him. If she hadn't been, the blade would have seen to it. His left hand darted out and stuck the interloper straight in the gut. As the guard collapsed with a bubbling wheeze he jerked the weapon free and swung his other hand forwards, cutting a neat slice across the next challenger's sword arm.
He was tiring though, unsure of how many of their opponents were still capable of presenting a danger to them. He couldn't keep this pace up forever and still remain unscathed.
