Zavien almost managed to avoid the Tidebreaker's attack, but the Oerwoud was on the King's side (for this round, at least), and down the Dragoon went. When he didn't immediately pop back up to continue, Hadama stepped over to offer a hand, a hint of a smile lifting the corners of his mouth. "Your own moves are also nice," he rumbled, tilting his head to indicate the smarting bruise on his shoulder.
But Zavien was not looking at him as he spoke, and Hadama followed his friend's gaze into the shadows that now held lights of their own. That subtle smile disappeared, a slight shifting of his expression back into stoic solemnity as emerald eyes narrowed at their audience. "Indeed, I did not," he confirmed grimly.
A hissing giggle came from one of the gourds on the heels of his words, a rippling sound that spread throughout the gathered jack o lanterns and rose to a cackle before they floated, bounced, or rolled towards the two men from all sides!
