[Morning arrives, and with it, another battle. It's becoming standard fare for them at this point, though that hardly means that it should be taken lightly. Any battle could be their last, as yesterday's very nearly proved. Hubert isn't particularly surprised to see Lif tear off through the battlefield - with his horse, he's the best suited of them to cut a swath through the front lines of the enemy, after all. But there is one downside to that - and it's all too apparent today.

This one archer could put a stop to the destruction Lif is causing the enemy. One single person could change the tide of battle so easily - and from the looks of it, Lif hasn't noticed the man. Hubert doesn't hesitate; the magic he calls is familiar and powerful, slicing clean through the man before he can get that Deadeye off and cut straight through Lif's defenses. The man goes down with a cry and Hubert picks up the pace. While he has no reason to doubt Lif's ability to take care of himself, there could be other archers or mages preparing to strike.

Later he'll tell himself that his desire to protect Lif is purely a practical one - Lif is the strongest of their team and the best suited for defending Hubert from threats that get too near; they simply cannot afford to lose him - but right now he isn't thinking about why he's rushing forward to make sure Lif is alright because suddenly he's not sure the man truly is. What if...?]
