( he certainly expected her scythe, but her cards are just as good, especially when she manages to imbue them with her own spellcasting. gustave worries not for her actions, knowing sciel won't miss, and instead focuses on the third man who charges at him.
with an easy swing of his sword, gustave manages to stun the man with a heavy blow from the flat side of his blade. it hurts so much more than sciel's shattering cards, and the man, the leader, falls onto his back, stunned. when he doesn't respond, the other two glance up at gustave, then sciel, then back at gustave and his sword.
all gustave does is offer a crooked smile, raising his arms in a shrug.
it takes no time at all for the three to abscond, the two on their feet dragging their 'boss' away, shouting insult to both expeditioners. gustave dismisses his sword, turning towards sciel. )
...you know, I had it all under control.
