[h3][u]Ayer Lecomte[/u][/h3]
- [b]A quarter after 9PM [/b]
- Mentions: [@Mataus]

The scientist almost couldn't hear the Eldi over the racket of the fervent 'singing', the shouting scattered across the small city, and his own heaving breaths. He was absolutely worn out. All this running, he wasn't even sure he ran this much his entire [i]life[/i]. Ayer felt like he could just curl up and die right there. So much for heroism right? 

But he strode to listen, freezing still. His heart and body ached, but he didn't dare move. 

He already knew a bit of the [b]Five[/b] commanders of Nillium, but the Eldi didn't know that. He felt a little guilty having the man think he was just some random desperate soul. At this moment, however, they both needed to focus on getting out alive. 

"Okay..." he said, inching a glance up. Ayer was out of breath, but he tried to make it quick. He was usually a fast speaker in general, but now it sounded like he was squeezing every little word out as fast as possible with each breath. 

"I'm assuming fire is your only specialty... You being an Eldi an all. I've not much either. That means we don't have much at our disposal when it comes to distraction or subterfuge... If your suspicions are right, the natural reaction upon seeing something unusual is confirmation upon the unusual and dubious sighting. That means, he'll probably walk up to get a closer look. If he does, I want you to pretend you are one of them. Not everyone knows I've an accomplice, nor do they know you. Call out that you've found me and bait him in closer. Then we knock him out." he breathed, looking at the Eldi, "Use my name, 'Ayer', if you have to. Make it urgent, so he can't think to turn away. The others won't be able to hear over all this [i]noise[/i], I'm sure. 

He almost shrugged his shoulders in acceptance, hand never having left the grip of [b]Wax Jury[/b]. "If not, we've been found anyway, right? I'm ready to fight."
