[His first target was still alive, apparently. Wow, these girls were pretty tough. What was that dress made of, anyway? Well, he'd have to deal later, unless Mana or Alice were able to before him.
He feels his blade connect with the mage, hoping it would disrupt the preparation of his spell in the process. Not that Gaius is going to stick around to find out. He hasn't survived this long on being cocky.
-well, that's a gutsy little mage. Since he's facing Henry at the moment of the attack, it's easy for him to see that the mage still has a hold on his spell, and it's a difficult position to evade. That doesn't mean the thief can't try, and let it not be said that he's not quick on his feet. He makes a dive to the side, shuddering as he feels the magic brush across him, and as he rolls in the sand, the dark tendrils trail him.
That was a little too close for his tastes, but he's not going to complain so long as he's still able to stand. He's going to fully take advantage of his position too, being that he's not gotten too far from Henry. If it takes the kid a while to cast, maybe he might not be expecting such an immediate retaliation.
Get ready then- because here Gaius comes again, sand flinging behind him as he pushes off into a direct dash for the mage, the blade of his sword gleaming only briefly beneath the fresh coating of blood.]
