[ Alec has to admit - he’s impressed. He might not say as much out loud, depending on how his mood is faring by the end of this little field trip, but Rufus surpasses his expectations quickly. His expectations were for him to get overwhelmed and die almost instantly, so it’s not hard to do, but still.
Rufus is good. He’s fast and smart and somehow makes such a messy weapon seem elegant, but at the end, numbers are still on the enemy's side. One of the drakes lands a good hit, and it’s frankly astonishing that it took this long. Even injured, Rufus makes short work of the beast, and Alec is about ready to head down the hill to see how Rufus - and his clothes, mostly his clothes - is faring, when he sort of gets the sense that something isn’t quite right here.
Five drakes down, and that’s all well and good, but didn’t Bobby say something about “big momma”?
From over the ruins there comes an ungodly shriek, and a sixth drake, larger than the rest, rockets over the little makeshift wall around the clearing. She doesn’t see Alec, and in fact flies right over his head as if he’s not there. Her sights are set on Rufus and the bloody remains of her brood. ]
Rufus!
[ As if he needs the warning, but it slips out anyway. ]
