The trading of blows between Leandros and the final naga is quick, his sheer strength quickly overpowering it. The halberd knocked its spear aside then quickly shifted to cut the snake in two. It was rare their age difference made much of an appearance, but the knight still stood tall.
Slight beads of sweat had formed, but he still seemed hale and hardy. He would not encourage another fight, but he certainly had the stamina for more. Theobo rushes ot the front to help with clean up and making sure there would be no surprise strikes from nearly defeated foes. Leandros smiled and clasp Cyran on the back, the sigil of protection fading from the elf.
"Don't think I didn't see that." Apogee smiles down as she places a healing potion on Lee's pauldron as she stays aloft on Byrr.
"And here I thought I would save it and give you the chance to stitch yourself at camp." He grins as he takes the potion, a rare moment of letting the decorum drop but he was a husband before a lord. She mattered more than any knightly pretense.
"Are you well Cyran? I have another if need be."

With deft movements and an air of finality, Leandros finished off the last naga, leaving the group on their own once more, having carried the day and protected the merchants from harm. Cyran tried not to get thrown over by the knight’s hearty encouragement, a bit stronger than he was accustomed to, but was grateful to see nonetheless. The fight seemed to have left him in no poorer spirits, and despite the protective enchantments he’d placed on Cyran, he still seemed like he could handle another round of combat if it came to it.
“Thank you.” He murmured before falling silent as Apogee teased him with a loving tone, handing him a healing tonic for his wounds. The assassin shook his head when she turned her attention to him.
“I’m quite alright, I assure you, though I appreciate the offer.” He insisted. With Leandros’s help, he’d gotten away with only a few scrapes and his own depleted energy after using so much magic. It was nothing a little meditation after they parted ways with the caravan wouldn’t help.
Though he was grateful for the offer, he was more than accustomed to taking care of himself.
But for now he had to shoulder on. He hoped that there would not be any more nagas waiting to ambush them on the road, but Cyran had no idea how much lie in wait for them. They had to keep the wagon moving - sitting still for long would only invite more danger. Once the group was calmed down enough to move once more, the group set off, with Cyran and Leandros taking the lead again for the rest of the trek to Zeinav City.
