[A cure spell as well. Squall was inwardly impressed now but keeps his expression stoic. That meant that Seifer had Red Mage equipped as well. Magitek Knight and Red Mage were admittedly- a smart combination. He does frown at the need of a cure spell though. A slice from a tonberry’s knife could mean automatic death and that wouldn’t be…ideal.

The idea of Seifer getting killed doesn’t sit well with him. It never had. Even through the circumstances and events of their strange rivalry, Seifer always gave Squall some sort of strange semblance of normalcy to his life. Nothing ever changed between them. Everything was always understood. Fight here, say this, insult now, walk away here, attack here. It was simple. And Squall had always somehow appreciated that sort of unchanging constant.

So getting rid of this tonberry before it cast its final attack would be ideal. No more messing around. After all he needed his last knife for his side-quest.]

Then you won’t need this one if you’re planning on killing more.

[Squall lifted his gunblade again and swooped in low and powerful with Stasis Sword. Dark energy flowed through the blade and did severe damage to the Tonberry. It silently staggered and seemed to be close to falling. Though the lantern still swayed.]
