[While he didn't think it would he had hoped all the same that the spell would put an end to this. Or at the very least not make the situation worse, as it seems to have done.
Hubert takes weary steps backwards but it's clear his pace needs to be quicker. His observant gaze darts towards that cat again, still casting, and he curses softly under his breath. He needs to get to that thing and stop it. Or at least get out of its range. He doesn't get a chance to do either.
Sharp teeth pierce into the flesh of his arm and there's not even an opportunity to suppress the grunt of pain that escapes him. And for a great many moments he is not in this unfamiliar rainy city but his home, right in front of the Imperial Palace. The city trembles beneath the weight of the armies both protecting it and invading it. And he is being approached and accosted from all sides. But he cannot lose. And he cannot die. He must protect his Majesty.
He can't fail again.
Again?
And just like that the world returns to the way it was. It is still unfamiliar. It is still wet. Edelgard, more than likely, is still not here. What exactly is he fighting for in this moment?
His blood feels hot as it spills due to the jaws that are clamped tight in his arm. With a sigh Hubert lifts the hand that isn't being chewed off and casts another spell. It doesn't need to be overly powerful. Not at this range.]
We will burn together.
[He unleashes the purple orb with little flourish allowing the blast to hit the both of them at full force.]
