Thomas gave Caprice a confused look as she rose up from next to him, completely unaware of his careless handling of the deadly weapon he held. That look was quickly gone though, a concerned but ready expression taking over his face as Caprice confirmed his suspicions. Well, that and a few more, much louder, noises echoing through the halls and stairways they had made their way through previously. 

[color=violet]“Alright, let’s get going then.”[/color] No sooner had he given Caprice an affirming nod, Thomas was off again. He figured at this point that any speed he ran at would probably be fairly simple for those in his group to keep up with so he didn’t stop to look back, hopping down steps and creasing carpets in his wake. 

As he ran he began to get a better idea of what was up ahead, aggressive hisses amidst the ever-loudening bangs and crashes setting up his expectations. It was for that reason that he wasn’t really surprised to see what he saw when he finally reached the scene, chunks of the splintered door about his shoes. Not too surprised at least.

At a glance, the boy noticed a distinct lack of Kanbaru in the room with Clair and... was that Rose? Plus, he’d expected a large snake, that was a given, but he definitely hadn’t expected one that could shoot energy balls. Nonetheless, he didn’t give himself time be be deterred or discourage himself from entering the fray. The snake hadn’t noticed him, at least not yet, and it seemed pretty distracted anyway.

Once again, Thomas didn’t even turn to Caprice, not wanting to wait too long to give his cover away. He didn’t even know if she was still with him, but he hoped his body language would be enough of an indicator. 

He sprinted into the theatre just as Clair threw her weapon at the serpent, hopping up onto one of the chairs and using it as a stepping stone to leap into the air as he got close to it. He raised his glaive high above his head before slashing downwards towards the snake’s coiled, scaled body. He didn’t doubt the naivety and risk of his stunt for a second but, that being said, he probably didn’t quite have the finesse yet to try anything smarter yet anyway.
