Ashelia gasps, her breaths coming heavy as she witnesses the battle. She crawls away from Olivier and towards Zelda, stumbling to her feet when she gets to a safe distance from the brawl. "Th-thank you!" she exclaims as she reaches the other blonde, one hand going to her chest. "O-over there, the great hall." She points in front of her, to where the sounds of battle waft into the courtyard. "If there's fighting...loyalists...!"

The soldier facing Olivier stumbles backward, but keeps his feet. "Negotiate? She's lucky Lord Vayne has spared her life at all - if she knows what's good for her, she'll choose life as a puppet over the end of her line!" He takes a deep breath and then lunges forward again, aiming to skewer the woman and end their exchange.

The soldier laying on the floor extends a hand toward K'pandolus, grunting with the effort. "B-balance!" he gasps, his hand going limp afterwards - not dead, but certainly spent. A moment later, K'pandolu will feel the effects of the technick, as the damage the soldier has sustained is wrought upon her.

Jade's attack is indeed fatal, the soldier lifeless by the time he hits the floor.
