( This is bad. This is bad, this is bad, this is bad and he wonders if it might be best to have Pippa call his name so that he can fight instead until he remembers he'd be unarmed. He might turn into a sword but he can't summon it on his own. If they want to fight-- which they need to do to survive right now, then they need to stay together.
Her blight is spreading, she's getting more and more hurt, and all he can do is urge her to fight. When she falls, he woners again if it's best that he took over. He's able-bodied, at least so maybe he can help her escape? He doesn't know. He doesn't know, he doesn't know. Where is someone to make a decision for him?
Before he can work up the nerve to suggest it, Axel is turning away. What? He can see the illusion and he understands enough and he tries to urge Pippa to rise, )
Now's our chance--!
( But she's ahead of him, already getting up onto her feet. Hurry, hurry, hurry. He doesn't say it out loud because he knows better than to assume she's taking her time but hurry. He isn't sure though, if Axel is going to struggle or not so he tries his best to encourage her right now, hoping his words can at least give her some strength, )
Hold on!
( Whatever she does, don't let him go. Don't lose him when she might still need to defend herself. )
