And now the Knights from before, accompanied by a female in a Japanese Monk outfit, had entered the room, although Flame recognized that only after it was apparent that the Monster Wolf's attention had been diverted. Another monk, this time a male, then began attacking said Monster Wolf. The boy looked at Alistair, saying, "I think this might be the best time to flee; we have a straight line to the kitchen."

The young man's trust of Alistair had begun to cement itself despite the short time the two had known each other; Flame was starting to ignore 'Father Whiskey' as the latter seemed to be ignoring them. But nevertheless, Flame knew that 'Allie' (a nickname he'll never use in public) had a rivalry with the Blonde Knight with the arrogant grin, and was somewhat afraid that this might cause some new incident. 

But this fear was somewhat dampened by the fact that 'Allie', for all his arrogance and blather and posturing, wasn't actually stupid; this might have mystified Flame if he had the time for, well, not trying to get away from the Monster Wolf. As it was, he was spending a few brief moments to wait for Alistair's lead, then see if 'Father Whiskey' was still following them, [i]and[/i] make sure the Knights were not going after the three.

And once he got the sign from the blonde, Flame would run. Run as fast as he could.

"Of course, Ms. Pacifica!" the young man said as he stepped aside to one of the remaining clear spots; hopefully the others were close by.

Ashton followed Aer's instructions, even as the adventuress seemed intent on starting a fight with Wisp. He tried to stand beside Kimura and Aaron if they were near and wait for what happened next. At the same time, he noted how 'Ms. Pacifica' spoke about a group called 'The Compass', and in a positive way, too. Were they magic-users of some sort? Nevertheless, Ashton saw how Aer seemed to be challenging Mist to a fight; part of him hoped none of the two would be seriously hurt, while another part of him wanted to see how much magic and special abilities would be used in such a battle; that ought to be useful for their next 'reset'.

For Ashton had resigned himself to dying this round. This was not an easy decision, but part of him knew he should stand with the Japanese Boy and the Chinese-American no matter what. As for the Scandinavian... Ashton suspected they'd meet her again once the timeline had reset; he didn't believe for a single minute that this was a one-time only deal - he was conversant with his over-used and over-dramatic tropes! And as life had begun to shape itself around said tropes, it was needed for him to be genre savvy.

He looked towards Kimura and Aaron, asking, "So, I introduced myself earlier; can you two do so as well?"
