Trixie looked at the two, not sure what to do. Elliot was really a good person, she knew that, and he was only doing his job. He likely didn't know why exactly Kiara had left the Imperium in the first place.

"Elliot, please stop! It's not what you think, it really isn't!" She tried, looking desperately at her friend. If only he would listen, Kiara wouldn't hurt him anymore, neither.

Elliot looked at her, hesitating for a moment, during which moment the fireball in his hands flickered and almost died out. He really wanted to believe Trixie, he really did. She had told the Catalyst to stop attacking him, so he knew she cared for him. But if he would refuse orders directly given to him, than that would definitely come with consequences...

As Elliot hesitated, Jackson dashed forward, her swords now fully drawn and slashed at the Catalyst, hoping to hit the criminal.
