[ behind them, he can hear the beast with the golden eyes scratching and bellowing furiously as it seeks them among the debris. they have precious few moments before it extracts itself and pursues them again, and juno steel takes the time to turn himself around and reach for tsera vel's hand. he wants to scold him, wants to rise on his toes and use all of cheris's tiny frame to snap at this foolish dame for not putting distance between himself and the clear and present danger.
but, that's not what tsera vel would do. what she would do is: ] Ohmigod, thanks.
[ a flurry of words as he scrambles, scratching his way to his feet and seizes tight around juno's hand and wrist, wrenching him into a better position as he takes off. light on his toes, legs and lungs working in tandem ( brought low, felled by the lack of care he has put into cheris's body; it looks thinner than it used to, not as svelte and trim and well-muscled as a kel soldier ought to ) as he bolts. behind them, the beast can be heard rending metal. a moment more for them to put distance between everything. ]
Next step! [ he heaves the words with faux glee, the breathlessness of an adrenaline junkie getting exactly the high they desire, coupled with a healthy dose of 'whee! this sucks!'. ] Pikes! Find anything long and pointy you can get your hands on!
