By the time I made my way back, Knight was exactly where I had left him, leaning lightly against a piece of collapsed stone, his posture more relaxed now that the strain from earlier had faded, though his eyes lifted the moment I approached as if he had been tracking my return without moving.
"Did you finish them all?" he asked.
I adjusted the axe slightly on my shoulder as I came to a stop near him, the lingering energy in my body still settling after the last fight. "Yeah," I replied, my voice steady. "Let's move."
He pushed himself off the stone but didn't step forward immediately, his gaze shifting briefly across the empty street before returning to me. "Move?" he repeated. "We're not taking over the city?"
I paused for a fraction, then nodded. "Right," I said. "We need to."
