Struggling upright behind him, his opponent demands "Again!". Now that the adrenaline has ebbed out she's clearly in no shape to go again, all bedraggled and spent and quivering with exertion. She just does not have the kind of stamina to keep up all that dodging and swarming for long, let alone absorbing blows that are harder than most the Sisters can manage. The twins round on her next. Actually face to faces with them, Nerine lowers her head and at least feigns submission.

There's a good chance they'd have had to put Guts on suicide watch if he broke his back, Lashan thinks, looking him over. And probably have him dragging himself around by his arms. Like Hesri she's not imagining him dying but suffering a permanent injury. Given that thickheaded stubbornness and the Healers' help he might or might not walk again eventually but things would be bad in the meantime.

"Eh," she says, as if she hadn't just walked over on him doing something stupid and dangerous, and then says something technical about some minor problem that came up in the forge, ending with "But it's sorted. I didn't start learning the forge just last week." Not pausing or changing her tone she says, "Boy, do me a favor and keep this kind of thing on the ground until you get out of here. You're a mess. Did you have fun?"
