Layn's oath

"Now that we know how to fight them, there is no point being worried!" Layn shouted in order to encourage his people. Even though he met Al just a few moments ago, the man already proved his usefulness, earning himself the right for Layn to consider him a comadre. 

"Are we finally going to get serious?" The burly man asked as he glanced towards the monsters rolling towards them.

"No," Layn shook his head after casting a quick glance to the back. "Others already left the danger zone. We are withdrawing as well," Layn protested, unwilling to chase the endless glory and put everyone at risk because of that. 

"What a bummer," Al moaned, almost as if he was in real pain before shaking his head. "But well, you are the leader here," he grinned at Layn before theatrically taking a step back and resting his ax on his shoulder.
