[ In some ways, it's better to know that Ernesto has some measure of skill on the battlefield, though such a thing should have been obvious from their talk weeks ago. Even if it increases the amount of time he'll have to fight, the thought of having to take on an untrained civilian fills him with no small amount of distaste. At least the two of them are on a more level playing field this way.
Not that he enjoys going after Ernesto either, but presumably the man can take more of a beating if push comes to shove. He'd better be able to, his tumble towards the ground looking none too pleasant even if he's already rolling to minimize the damage done. But Eustace isn't about to waste this possible opening, already following behind as he tilts his body downwards, hands outstretched as he tries to grab at the flimsy white fabric of Ernesto's clothes in order to roll him onto his back. ]
