They're not even Olympian, Dia wants to point out, but the soldier isn't letting them have the chance. He pulls his sword out and Diamond contemplates drawing their own. But as he goes to swing the sword down with something about teaching them a lesson, Diamond pulls at Ann to try and tug her back and raises their arm to bodily deflect the blow.
There's a peculiar 'ping!' noise as the sword hits their arm and bounces off, though something on their arm seems to? Chip?? Weird. It sends the soldier stumbling back in surprise, saving them some time.
Diamond sighs.] We might have to fight out of this now... Can you? [They glance to Ann, completely unfazed. This is normal!!] Or we could just run. I can carry you.
