[In the past, Van would have pressed right to Asch's back, a human barrier between him and his opponents. Not anymore. Asch has made the line between them perfectly, surlily clear.
He hits one attacker hard enough to send them flying, and takes a step back closer to Asch.]
Bring them around. [He pitches his voice low enough that Asch can hear it, but hopefully their attackers can't.] Give me an opening to cast and then run.
[Now whether or not Asch will listen to this plan...]
