[It's bad enough that his jaw stings now, and that there's probably a nice black smudge on his face to go with it for getting distracted, he doesn't need even more reasons to be confused. Wasn't Lance the one who didn't want his company? The situation is decidedly off, and as disconcerting as it is to have that dangling in front of his face, the other paladin is right: they need to take care of this weird thing first.
So either they engage or retreat.
Just kidding. They engage, of course! And by "they," we mean "Keith." Keith engages.
But it's not because he doesn't trust Lance to be able to be able to handle himself. It's because he's spent the last three months turboing alone. Teamwork in combat is an instinct that's been a little trained out of him. He has no idea what on earth this ungodly thing's weak points may be or if it can even be incapacitated, but he's working under the assumption that the door isn't gonna bring in anything that's gonna be impossible for the folks here to deal with.
The gods need their damn emotions and being dead means you can't have feelings. There's a quick glance over his shoudler at Lance.]
I got this.
[... And that's about all the warning that Lance gets before Keith extends his free hand and the Krampus is enguled in flames. The Anti-Klaus emits an unholy screech... and thanks to the fire now gets to toss burning coal at them. This is going so great.....]
