Éliane’s concern over the events in Skael had been obvious long after leaving the hospitality of the Demets. The revelation from Kayliss that at least the previous Overseer –and her patron—Lord Silvain was the reassurance that she was able to latch on to. Although there were others in the Seven that hadn’t been in the capital, Silvain was an experienced political leader who could provide continuity of government should the worst have happened. 

But in these ruins of Lunaris, even those thoughts weren’t so important anymore. In fact, the shadows, whispers, and the rather more obvious evil demonic jester manifesting right in front of Éliane was a far more tangible threat. 

Just like Esben, it was one that she far more welcomed. Glad for the distraction, she immediately focused on the creature. “Explosives? I’ll do you one up!” Glancing at Galahad with a grin, she produced a uniquely red colored shell from her pouches and fed it into her gunblade, replacing a regular bullet. Raising the blade towards the heavens, she fired the bullet into the air. Unlike a regular bullet, it was slow, arcing into the sky before exploding into a brilliant flash. The flare remained in the air, slowly drifting downwards as it kept the entire battlefield illuminated to drown out the shadows in light. Together with Chisato’s own explosives, the field was thoroughly lit and would be for the next several minutes.

Bringing her gunblade back down to level, Éliane then took the opportunity to actually attack as her weapon barked out its remaining five normal rounds.
