[ aether can hear explosions right behind them, and almost immediately, he's scooping up his sister in his arms and carrying her towards another room to hide in, setting her down in a corner. that woman is still on the hunt for them, holding some kind of grudge against him and his sister for whatever that happened a long time ago. it's stupid.
he peers through the glass window, eyes darting across the hall. he can still hear explosions happening and it's getting nearer and nearer, even if it's not visible yet. ]
Ae ... [ he feels lumine's hand on his sleeve, tugging at his arm. ] Just leave me here, I'll be fine. Come back for me later ...
[ despite his declaration earlier, leaving lumine is still a difficult decision to make. but it's something that needs to be done if he wants to protect her. he presses a kiss to her forehead, her skin hot against his lips, before he promises that he'll be back. he will definitely be back and go back home and get their normal lives.
a moment later, he's stealing out of the room to find ajax and this god. the delusion remains clasped in his hand, the glass orb cold against his skin. when he finds the god, with ajax nowhere in sight, aether launches a stream of electricity from the delusion, looping it around her neck like a rope and tightening it with a pull of his arm. this would be easier if he had his vision, but beggars can't be choosers.
