( She does as she's told, holding onto the back of his kimono, her grip tight. Hopefully he won't have to move around too much but he's an oodachi. They aren't exactly the fastest swords. As for her orders? There are two choices, really. Retreat so she can help fortify the barrier or help those in need right in front of her. This was a surprise attack and while everyone was caught off guard, some where never quite able to regain it. Her decision is obvious, )

We'll cover everyone. ( Or at least, as many as they can. ) We'll do it so the others can escape and recover or assist with the barrier.

( She steps closer to him. She's always stayed behind at the citadel while her swords fight so she isn't sure how she can help exactly, at least not at first. Watching some of the more seasoned saniwa stay close to their swords, she understands that she won't be as in the way as she originally thought. The other saniwa are healing their swords from the front lines, assisting the best they can, )

I'll go with you and heal you.
