"I tend to sneak up on my foes and eliminate them from behind." She said offhandedly, kicking at a rock on the ground. Then, a slow grin, and she looked up.
At that moment, the shadows chose to strike. They leapt from the branches onto the ground, straight in front of Isto and Mauli. Each of the three were shaped like wolves; hungry, ravenous wolves, with saliva dripping from each shadowed fang like poison from a snake. The first circled to the right as the third went left, surrounding their intended targets like a surrogate sargent would command his troops on his first mission.
It took Mauli a second to respond to the sight, and in that second she had drawn her sword. "Oh." And after that, she let off a few colorful words that might not have been suitable for any small children to hear.

"Ahh, then, you know Isto?" He seemed to hesitate every few words, speaking slowly and rechecking them in his mind to be sure he'd spoken right. Blinking, he shrugged. "You didn't! I just finished. S'a good book."
"That explains a lot," Isto calmly replied, fighting a grin. A grin that quickly departed as the shadow... wolves... things dropped from the trees. Immediately he begins edging towards Mauli, turning slightly to keep his eyes on at least two of the wolves, a slightly challenging grin returning in reply to Mauli's...colorful language. "If I take two... you think you can manage the third, pirate?"

"I could take on twice as many with my sword hand tied behind my back." She returned the grin, the love of the battle flickering in her eyes. Just to give in to the cocky before-ultimate-doom banter, she tossed her sword to her other hand, clasping her right hand tightly behind her back. "Lessee what you can do, metal man!"
The first of the wolves charged, slamming hard into Mauli's side. Mauli went down, but kicked sideways, flinging the shadow into a tree. She then stood, lunging towards it. The other two circled around Isto, snapping their jaws and flexing their muscles in order to intimidate him. Finally, one leapt, claws extended, heading towards Isto's chest.

"If I take two... you think you can manage the third, pirate?" Tam nodded. She didn't know how to respond to this SM- he wasn't shy, like some of the other ones that always seemed to be afraid of her, and he wasn't bubbly excited, wanting to go off and 'pick flowers'. It was the sort of... quiet assurance about him, that made her comfortable ...But she wondered if he really wanted to be talking to her, or not- he was hesitating. "...You're not like anyone else, are you?" she said, basically setting aside everything else he'd said.

((And...sorry it's taking me so long v.v Overprotective boyfriend is busy clinging to me ;D))
Two to one with no real weapons? Eh..hehehe, let Mauli taunt all she liked. Isto was keeping his arm. The first wolf veered towards Mauli, and almost immediately Isto lost interest in it. He began circling with the other two, careful to keep them both within his vision at all times. One lunged... And Isto swiped upward with his metal arm, catching beneath the wolf's legs in an effort to toss it off balance. For a moment, it didn't seem to be working. The shadow molded around his arm, continuing in its forward leap. But then the metal took hold and tossed the wolf backwards, leaving Isto with a tear in his shirt and a shallow gash down his stomach.
Banda contemplated her words for a short while before replying... "Well... No, I guess. I'm not." He paused, then shrugged slightly, continuing. "I'm deaf. Can't hear a thing..."

Mauli tossed her sword at the shadow, piercing it through it's stomach. "Hah!" She grinned, then it faded away and was replaced with a snarl. The shadow molded around the sword, then stood, it's grin backed by the sharp metal point coming from it's mouth. Gulping, Mauli took a step back, then rewarded herself with another grin as the shadow keeled over. Stupid thing! Shifting a sword around in its insides was probably not the smartest of ideas. She ran over and removed her sword, scowling as her hand was covered in shadow blood. "Oh, ugh! That's just nasty."
The second shadow watched as it's brother was flung away, and it continued circling, determined not to make the same mistake. Waiting for an opening, it then lunged, tackling Isto hard.

She hadn't been expecting that at all. She took a moment to give herself the chance to figure out what she thought about it- and she had to admit that it didn't mean much to her, one way or another- which surprised her. It seemed like something that should... make her uncomfortable, or at least fascinate her. "Well, it seems like you can lipread. ...Would you like to go do something? Since you've finished your book, I mean."

"Yes, I can," chirped Banda. "And I'd love to! Whadaya wanna do?" When Isto was young, he'd been a complete wuss when it came to meeting anyone new, or trying to find friends for himself--because he was different. Deaf was different... but Banda had worked past that. If someone had a problem with the fact that he couldn't hear, then he likely wouldn't want that someone for a friend anyway.
((Grargfoogle, sorry, Em... v.v))
