( maelle certainly likes to put him on the spot, and gustave can't help but wonder if it has to do with her finding fondness in teasing him or trying to get him to do things she reckons he wants to do; he's the adult here, isn't he?
though it warms his heart seeing that maelle listens to his instructions. she didn't need to, never really has to, but this alone proves to him of the strong bond they have, this unending trust in one another.
he waves his left hand at them them, as if abashed. )
Nothing special about this arm.
( because the last thing he wants to do is making his arm seem more valuable to people like his current assailants. it's not like he has been able to get any charge in his arm, anyway, and it's not for lack of trying...
but, anyway, he wants less to do with these strangers and more with rushing to maelle to hold her, to make sure she's really there, which is why he swings his sword in his hand and steps closer, one-two steps, and rushes the remaining men, a hard hit with the blunt side of his blade on one back, and the other on the shoulder. that'll smart for a while, and even if they don't fall into a heap on the floor, they're already scrambling.
gustave just watches this, and as a responsible adult, says, )
