Fair enough. It's becoming clear that Perón, lacking magic, is out of his league here, at least when facing opponents beyond the reach of his blade.

It would be counterproductive, and potentially deadly, to start questioning his choices now, though, so Perón doesn't. The what was I thinking game can wait until they're out of here safely, with Tiwa.

He follows behind Tane, firmly ignoring his knee as he turns most of his attention to the shadows surrounding them. Tane is clearly focused ahead - someone needs to be watching as much of the rest of the area as possible.
