Trisean took a slight pause as he heard the more collected voices of Shizuka and Ace respond. Just how paranoid had he gotten? He needed to get a grip. This was embarrassing. He took a deep breath as Asuka mentioned the stench of the sewers. "Amen to that." he said with a chuckle. "I'm gonna need a shower after this. Certainly not my brightest idea." He took a few steps forward, before stopping and muttering with another chuckle, "Damn. Really loosing my edge today." He turned to Asuka and said with a smile, "Hey, sorry if I've been acting off my usual game today. Got a lot on my mind is all." Trisean decided he was done being worried about everything. What came would come, and he would tackle it with his usual youthful energy. He certainly wasn't going to let some mercenary have the satisfaction of killing his mood.

Trisean was about to get moving again, when something felt off. His expresion went back to being serious, and he extended his arm in front of Asuka with a curt "Hold up." He thought he heard.... and there it was again. Too much splashing to just attribute to echoes. A large number of things were in the sewers with them. And the scraping metal he heard every now and again answered the question as to what they were. "Damn. Constructs are in the sewers with us. And I think I know what kind. Nomis certainly loves his wolves." Trisean's whips uncoiled out of habit. Judging his environment, he chose to attune himself with blizzard magic. The whites of his eyes turned to a light blue, and his skin seemed to pale slightly as his body temperature cooled. In close quarters, ice would serve well as a defense. Plus, there was the ever present fact that water froze.

If anything, Trisean still had a twinge of anger and irritation left in him. He grinned slightly as he thought of the irony of the situation. If Nomis had sent these things after them, he had just give Trisean a present. Trisean very much wanted to hit something, and here came more wolves, like gluttons for punishment. "What the hell. I'm still a bit pissed anyway," he said to himself. Of course, Asuka was still down here with him, and he didn't want to go into a fight if she didn't want to. He turned with a slight grin to her and said, "What do you say Asuka? Want to lay the smack down on these fools? Its as good a reason to fight the empire as any."
