Minuet kicked one of the orcs in the neck, causing it to pause to catch its breath. She forced back a grin - she couldn't take pleasure in it - and jumped onto the other orc, twisting wildly until she could bring it down. Standing on that orc, she attacked the first, launching rapid kicks. It stumbled back, then roared and raised its club to attack. But when it turned to hit her, Minuet had disappeared. As the orc glanced around, confused, Minuet dropped from the treetop, kicking it in the head and knocking it out. She landed gracefully and glanced at Ara, who still hadn't begun her fight. Minuet nodded to the orcs rushing toward Ara, a questioning look on her face. It almost seemed as if she was asking to help... but that's not what it was, certainly.
