	A bombardment of gunfire is really the [i]exact opposite[/i] of what Aram and his team needed to hear right now. It meant the tank-girl had gotten to her feet.

[color=fff79a]Dandy...[/color]

   Aram tilted his head as he felt quickly growing vibrations shake his feet.

[color=fff79a]Uhhh...Brutus?![/color] - oh wait, he still couldn't make any sound. As he turned towards Brutus, the vibrations piqued, and there was a slight moment of stillness - before the wall less than a yard away from where he was taking cover exploded into a cloud of dust and rocky debris. The force of the energy from Rurik's explosion sent Aram reeling, and then the secondary explosion, apparently aimed at Brutus, boomed to his side, toppling him from his unbalanced footing.

[color=fff79a]H-Holy cow...[/color] Aram thought as he stared at Bak from his knocked-on-his-ass position, [color=fff79a]...that was AWESOME!![/color] he said inwardly as he grinned.

The boy scrambled to his feet, hoisting his shield, with his right arm down to his side. In this situation, he would probably try and trick Bak with his words to make her lower her guard...but unfortunately, that wasn't an option.

So instead he ran. After scooping up a handful of dirt and rocks and throwing it in both of their faces, while they were distracted.

He turned away from Bak and Rurik, and sprinted full-speed a few yards away, quickly stepping behind one of the pillars near the enemy-side doorway. The pillar was thick enough to hide him from their sight as long as he stood directly behind it...hopefully they'd think he had fled.
