[ Dain was silently preparing for this. It's not as if he wasn't always on high alert or preparing for a sneak attack from the abyss order back home. Being alert and on edge was just something that was commonplace for him, if he's being totally honest. But this place...it was making him lackadaisical in his normal methodologies and routines.
So the fact that Cloud catches him by surprise is no small feat, or wouldn't be if he was being lax in his own way. The thundara grazes him in the arm and there's a shout of pain as Dain twirls to dodge the remainder of the spell. He narrows his eyes as he pants, pain in his left arm throbbing and compounding on the pain that's caused by the curse. Damn this wasn't good. Cloud. This man is a proficient fighter and he hardly wanted to get into a tussle here of all places. ]
