He’d been careless in their battle, and while he could beat himself up for that later, their enemy was doing a mighty fine job of doing that for him for the time being. Taako swayed on his feet slightly, holding his bloodied arm with his opposite hand, the umbrustaff dangling on his thin wrist. It really pissed him off to get like this; for as much as he ragged on Merle for not being able to heal him whenever he needed, he did end up needing to be healed a whole fucking lot.
While distracted by his injuries, the static of magic cut through the air and Taako just barely looked up in time to see the ice spears headed for him, a blur of motion taking out his view. With a loud shout of “no!” and a bolt of pain through his spine, the elf blinked a few times, Magnus’ face by his as he was held to the wall.
“What-?!” Taako squirmed a bit in his grasp, though the pain that shot up his arm held him just as still as Magnus did. As he stopped struggling, he looked to the ground where he’d been, just now registering the large pointed ice pieces sticking out of the bloodied ground where he’d been moments ago. Taako’s uninjured hand rested on Magnus’ shoulder, squeezing slightly at the sight before looking back at him.
“Oh, shit. Could have been fucking shredded Taako on the floor back there. Nice one, Magnus.” Taako gave his his shoulder a light pat a few times, urging him to turn around. “Might wanna deal with my guy back there, though.”
