Emotional Warfare

I approached at a walk, keeping the guy between Weld and I. I saw his agitation grow, as he tried to keep Weld in focus while not ignoring me. He couldn't run out to one side either, with the dogs around.

A face in the corner of my eye made my head turn. Visual snow. The guy ran from Weld and came after me while I was distracted, machete held high.

I hit him with my aura, and I saw his expression change. His attack was delayed, thrown off by the surge of emotion, and I flew up a bit to put a foot on his chest, my hand down and ready to smack the blade with the Wretch out if it looked like he'd cut me.

I used my foot and my flight to push him in Weld's direction. The Fallen soldier landed on his ass at Weld's feet, and Weld stepped on one of his calves. I could hear the bone crack.
