Safariel's feet touch down on the balcony, with the scurrying footsteps of Rhenner and Diamond emerging from the manor mere moments later. Aron's gaseous form surges past them and over the balcony towards the estate wall and the streets beyond. Behind them they can hear the failure of Atticus' distraction. There are mere moments to make a getaway before matters become supremely complicated. Atticus' footsteps hammer along the fine wooden floors as he rushes to join the others at the exit.

In the distance, having climbed the side of a building, a Zaraweti surveys. She can see the peaceguards on the street below looking up at her. They are talking to each other, likely discussing their next course of action. As she turns her gaze back to the mansion, she sees the figures of her compatriots emerge. She needs only keep them distracted for a few moments longer.
