The problem with Jalen's response to this situation was the fact that their opponent was a Keybearer, ergo, he was no pushover. An evasive move seemed a wiser choice and Fox did just that.

As to the Keybearer, he met Jalen's blade with his own, parrying and deflecting the attack off to one side while side stepping the other way and letting Jalen's momentum carry him past. He tossed a Firaga Jalen's way, but didn't bother to see if it connected as he continued into the midst of the Refugees to take them on.

"Fuckmints," Fox hissed, noting how nonchalantly the Keybearer tossed the big guy aside, "What else could go wrong?"
