It wasn't often that Anise actually had the time or opportunity to cast one of her Artes, though Guy also realized that they couldn't rely on that. Their powers were severely weakened, and so even if she landed a spell it wasn't likely that it would be enough to keep the monster down, whatever it was.

Their foe didn't take long to show itself, and it made its entrance with a bang, jumping right for Anise. Guy's hand curled around a stray branch right as he watched Luke toss himself at the thing. His friend really didn't think before acting sometimes, although this wasn't the sort of situation where they could hesitate, either.

Luke was definitely going to need back-up while Anise finished casting, and so Guy stood up with the branch, darting past the girl and toward Luke and the dog, swinging out with his makeshift weapon. He was aiming for the monster's head, and he knew Luke was comfortable enough fighting alongside him that he wouldn't get in the way.
