Éliane had parted from Rudolf midway with a two-fingered salute. While she was hardly as efficient as Galahad, she bounded off in the direction of Esben’s planned target, utilizing the city’s more unique architecture, managing a semblance of how she traversed the rooftops of Solitude in urgent pursuit by means of wind materia. 

Even midway through the city, she could tell that the situation was developing not necessarily to the favor of the Kirins, by the chaos and noise that was starting to erupt in the streets. Just from the explosions and sounds of gunfire from the direction that Rudolf had gone, she could tell that something hadn’t gone right… but also made her wish that she had swapped places with the man instead of heading to Esben. The fact that there was no chaos and fighting ahead of her didn’t mean much given the developing situation. While she was anticipating a good fight, she debated over what she was going to expect.

Midway through, it occurred that she didn’t have a good idea how exactly to even find Esben. It wasn’t guaranteed that he was still at the council offices, and with the situation in the city, he could have been in any number of places now.

Well, she knew that the spy was a resourceful fellow. If he needed help, surely there would be some kind of signal. 

Failing that, she could always head directly to the very obvious gunfire.
