Xaphia considered the idea, just turn and leave, wouldn’t be much of a problem to either of them there, it should have been the obvious course of action, but she wasn’t likely to be leaving any time soon. She pulled herself closer to Ashlynn and embraced her in a tight hug, nuzzling against her for a moment, but then pulled away, a sad look in her eyes for the second she let them be seen, her gaze quickly turning away as her hand loosened and slipped from Ashlynns grip, her feet carrying her in to a swift run towards the sounds of action.
Xaphia didn’t look back, she would have liked for Ashlynn to follow, but she prayed she wouldn’t, had she been a little smarter she would have ignored both her curiosity and the scent she had followed, doing that had never turned out well for her, but just like always she just smiled and followed like she was enthralled, now she had led the only person she had met in ages in to what could only be described as a horrible place to be.
She stopped after running quite a way through hallways and up stairs, coming to an end in front of a large locked wooden door, she could have blasted away the hinges or the lock with her pistol, but decided on a more subtle approach. She pulled out a set of lockpicks from the tool belt under her oversized greatcoat and got to work, her delicate and nimble gloved hands deftly unlocking the door with a satisfying and loud click.

Blue was about to bound off towards the sight of the commotion, but Ayumi’s hand caught him off guard, freezing him in the spot for just long enough to get the lead while he looked down at where her fingers had trailed over him. He didn’t know why, its not like he expected to see anything there, as if she had taken the opportunity to plant some explosive charge, but his eyes demanded to see none the less.
It didn’t take long for him to catch up with her, though he couldn’t help but lag behind slightly, the sight of her running before him in what he still refused to call clothes was something he couldn’t resist, but when they got closer he shook his mind clear and caught up, just as an angel crashed through the window above them and in to the fray. Blue didn’t like angels, or demons for that matter, to otherworldly for his tastes, though he did enjoy it when their plans went wrong around him, he never understood why, but something about the fact that he was a man made by man, rather than god, just messed around with anything that didn’t involve hard and proper science.
He looked to Ayumi when she asked how long she had been out of commission, he didn’t know the exact answer to that, but he had an idea, not that he was too keen on sharing it with her at the time, combat tended to go better with as few distractions as possible, but he just couldn’t say no to her “I don’t have an exact number, but I estimate that between your project being shut down and this moment now, a bare minimum of 250 years has passed” he paused for a moment “I’m guessing you’ve missed allot, if you’re not ready, then there’s nothing wrong with us sitting this one out”
