Enki kept a close eye—or rather, a close eye, ear, and nose—on their surroundings as the situation escalated, and as it turned out, there was quite a lot to pay attention to: the occasional movement of wire, an idle chuckle, the sound of footsteps on metal, and rather interestingly, the distant sound of another chopper approaching, before making its retreat.

[i]It seems the Guard have finally arrived,[/i] Enki mused. [i]Now, if only I had a reason to leave this crummy alley.[/i]

Before Enki could even parse all of that, however, the wires that were positioned on the ground and over by the street lifted up violently, before sweeping every which way, slicing and smashing into everything in their path.

Enki was quick to respond, pushing back hard with one foot at the asphalt of the alley. The push lifted them off the ground for a brief moment and away from any potential danger. Thankfully, it seemed that the manoeuvre was more a show of force than an actual attack, as Enki soon realised that the attack wasn't really aimed at anyone, and it certainly hadn't extended into the alley where they were situated.

Unfortunately, Enki's hasty reaction earlier did a number on the pavement. [i]So much for being careful with my strength,[i] Enki thought as they sighed dejectedly.

"Let's talk," Spindle's voice cut through the air. A moment later Enki heard something clatter to the ground. 

[i]Judging by that sound, that must be the megaphone she used...[/i]

Enki found themselves smiling again. Even if it could potentially anger her, the prospect was too exciting for Enki to just let it slip by.

Enki emerged from the alleyway and into the open a moment later, and despite being barefoot, they didn't seem to mind the ground being littered with glass as they made their way over to the dropped megaphone at a leisurely place.

Enki stared up at Spindle, grinning, their brilliant green eyes shining under the sun.

With a swift motion, Enki used a foot to knock the megaphone into the air, before picking it up. "I hope I'm not intruding by barging in like this, but would you mind it terribly if I skipped the line a little bit?" Enki asked, their words peppered with cheeky amusement.
