[ aether doesn't need to be told twice unlike his sister, hauling lumine back to her feet and dragging her away towards the exit without a second glance at ajax. even he can tell that something's wrong with her, her usual spirit and strength sapped away by something inside of her. he grits his teeth, himself still lacking strength, but he manages to get his sister out into one of areas near the exit.
he sets her down on the ground as other people run past them, also in panic after hearing the explosions from the back of the warehouse. aether will have to ask ajax later why his own men are fleeing instead of helping him out, focusing on lumine first.
lu, stay with me, please. you have to keep awake.
his sister's expression is tired, pain underscoring the smile she tries to send his way. her skin feels hot to the touch as well, as if she's burning from the inside. ]
Ajax ... help himβ
[ that idiot will be fine, lu. worry about yourself more.
but even aether can tell that if she can get up and fight, she will. and that's what exasperates him the most about her, not giving up in stupid circumstances but also giving up in more stupid circumstances. he really has spoiled her to death.
... look, i'll help him out and get this over with. but you have to promise me that you'll still be okay when we return, okay? promise me, lu. ]
