[ Clearly that leap of faith G'raha had in their mutual desire not to get in over their heads was taken a little too soon. Though neither of them are eager to empty their pockets or whatever--if nothing--is in them, it is seeing Emet-Selch raise his hand in his peripheral, not the guns pointing at them, that has G'raha suddenly sweating.
And reacting before their would-be captors.
Wicked white!
He summons up an aetherial shield and holds it above his head, deflecting any stray spears that were likely only avoiding Emet-Selch. G'raha Tia is ever a fair target, isn't he? (Or is he just assuming he is?)
G'raha grits his teeth and makes to flee. ]
This could have been managed with a little more delicacy!
[ But not without a comment.
He is...not unaware that Emet-Selch is, mayhaps inadvertently, helping him again. Damn it all. ]
Just up the road--
[ He doesn't finish the sentence, almost wanting to share the fact that his own vehicle is parked up there, prime for a getaway. For the both of them. If need be.
Yet he doesn't get far away from the chaos--the raiders screaming and a few guns going off like they can shoot the aetherial spears that had rained down upon them--when he skids to a step. A large beam of light hits an old rusty car in the field. It explodes. ]
