Perhaps she should have spotted them sooner, headed them off before Chiron got in close enough for the magic nullification to take effect. Maybe she should have but she didn't, her mind splintered in fear for the presence currently not at her side. As much as she tells herself they will be fine a part of her worries, twists with a familiar anxiety. After all, Vex and Vax never went far from each other. Nor did Percy.
It has Vex cursing under her breath, scrambling to a higher vantage point. If she had Trinket this would be easier, she could get him to barrel in there, or even ride him in. She watches Chiron flicker, yanked by the other agent - no time. Lightning fast fingers draw an arrow, nock, and let loose, aiming for the agent's shoulder, the second comes less than a moment later, as Vex launches herself off her perch and towards Chiron. It slices through the air, burying the tip deep into their enemies thigh.
