Arin struggled to stay on his feet but collapsed.
Ragna and the other three Holy Paladins had just freed themselves from their serpentine restraints.
Count Velvetius had momentarily lost consciousness after Arin's attack.
It weakened the arcane snakes which had captured them in deadly coil, giving them the chance to escape.
Seeing Arin faltering, Ragna rushed toward him. She stumbled twice but eventually reached his side.
Two Luminary Guards hurried forward, offering to assist both of them, but Ragna quickly stopped them. She was afraid they or the Paladins might notice Arin's unusual green blood oozing from his wounds, which were yet to heal; and eventually start asking questions.
Using her Warhammer as a crutch, she steadied herself. Then, slipping one of Arin's arms around her shoulder, she helped him stay upright.
Arin was dazed. His head lolled as he looked at Ragna, his voice weak and apologetic.
"R-Ragna…"
She cut him off, "Don't talk, you fool!"
