[cracks his knuckles as he sees them, and for a moment he glances over his shoulder at her and gives her a grin]
Watch this.
[once the dragons are in melee range, titus closes the distance and leaps into the air, fist held aloft, and comes down on the first dragon with a punch to its jaw, the impact of which reverberates so hard it knocks the dragon flat on the ground, with the one next to it reeling as well.
and then, because he missed the third one, he tackles it from behind]
[ BOY, PLEASE DO NOT GET YOURSELF KILLED ON THE FIRST OUTING, THAT'S A BAD LOOK FOR BOTH OF US!
She makes an abortive step forward and stops herself, because honestly, she's not actually going to be much help in a battle, unless he needs a boost. That, at least, she has learned pretty well over the course of time: it isn't helpful to be some small squishy thing dashing out into the battlefield! Let's not make this worse. ]
[the good news is that his attacks really seem to be doing a lot of damage to these guys. the bad(?) news is that his entire battle strategy does seem to be... punch dragon in face]
Stay back, I got this!
[one of the dragons looks like its about to whip him in the back of the head while he wails on the other one]
but you know, it's close because THOSE ARE HUGE TEETH TITUS PLEASE LOSING YOUR ARM IS JUST AS BAD. Who do you think you are, one of Boxy's characters?! ]
[just as he whips his head back he gets not-quite-a-face full of teeth. he's fast enough to bring his arm up at the last second to block, but still getting a nasty scrape in the process]
[the rock flies straight and true, and when it bonks the wyvern's head and bounces off, titus yells--]
Nice shot!
[but by now he has realized that he's gotta work quickly. as the dragon lets out a screech and shakes its head, titus uses his position grappling the other one to pivot himself into the air and do a backflip, shoving the creature to the ground in the process. as soon as he's back on his feet, he deftly unsheathes a dagger and flings it at the reeling wyvern, right in its jugular. he's dexterous, if nothing else]
[ She mutters that mostly under her breath, but she hesitates until the wyvern goes down before she approaches him again, keeping a careful eye on the bodies. They don't USUALLY play possum, but also, she's not going to trust that they won't start. ]
[ But she's gonna try and take his injured arm's hand, so she can hold it up and get a look at him. Servants might be more durable than humans, but maybe, be careful,,, ]
At least Ritsuka is, as promised, experienced to some degree in field medicine. Thank goodness for the alcohol pads that someone (probably Nightingale, let's be honest) stuffed into her Mystic Code before the trip. ]

How big are we talking?
no subject
Human-sized, a little bigger. If we were going for a bigger dragon, I'd be bringing a whole team.
[ There's a flock of them, a set of three, making a beeline for them across the rocky terrain. ]

[ WELL. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE IS STILL A SQUISHY LITTLE HUMAN WHO IS LIMITED IN WHAT SHE CAN DO.
but I guess there is the option of pick up rock > throw it at wyvern so
let's do that. ]

Are you okay? Let me see your arm.
no subject
Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I've had way worse than this.
[but he is still bleeding; there are a few trickles of blood flowing down his arm, dripping onto the ground]

Don't worry, I'm not going to pull a Nightingale on you. No unnecessary amputations.
