Subject: How bout I string you along instead?

Ravin tried to shake off the dizziness he felt while swinging his blade at one of the animated puppets. He was extremely grateful to Isobel for stepping in to give him a hand because he didn't know how long he could keep standing. When she started hacking away at the things, he leaned against the wall and wiped away sweat that had suddenly formed on his brow.

"I hope these needles were not poisoned."

Ravin blinked then tried to focus on Isobel as she removed the needles from his arm. He was only vaguely aware of the battle going on in the distance. A smirk crossed his lips when he heard Sheikh Daraba grunting like an ogre again. "I'm tired," he whispered to Isobel when he found it impossible to keep his eyes open any longer. Before he passed out Val shoved a vial into his hand and ordered him to drink it.

With Isobel's help he raised the vial to his lips and gulped down the terrible tasting contents. He began to feel more alert within minutes and became aware of Val standing nearby tending to a wound on Jade's leg. Ravin was glad to discover that he hadn't dropped his sword when he felt like passing out earlier. He tightened his grip around the hilt then kissed Isobel on the cheek. "Thanks for saving me from those strange puppets."

Once his legs felt steadier he pushed away from the wall and followed Isobel toward Erlic who was examining a wall. Ravin lifted a brow when the older thief pushed open a secret door then readied his sword as he followed the others inside. Because his reactions were still a bit slow from the sleep venom that wasn't completely out of his system yet, he hesitated when he saw more puppets start to attack. He regained his senses in time to see that Isobel was in trouble and hurried toward her.

"Cut the strings!" she shouted.

"With pleasure," he replied, swinging his sword and slicing through the stings that somehow kept the puppet animated. When the thing stopped moving he quickly sheathed his blade and pulled out a dagger. He proceeded to cut away the strings from the smaller puppets that had Isobel pinned to the floor while Jade kicked them away.
