that seemed the wisest plan of action, and so he placed himself in front of the healer, shielding her from the melee and her captor. he was puffed up and snarling, though the words he spoke to aphrodite over his shoulder were calm and quiet, barely audible over combat: it's okay. we're here. i'm going to take you home.

surya set his gaze like steel upon the brute of a man, warning him not to come any closer. if need be, he'd leap into the fray. for now, he thought it best to be a bodyguard.
