Although she had made it look effortless, somehow Éliane managed to land on her feet amidst the rooftop wreckage. Perhaps a small mercy, but the fact that the ship had crashed to begin with was not—she had very specifically wanted to peek over the walls, not bloody fly over them. It became very quickly obvious that a certain traitor was involved once again, making the pink-haired officer grit her teeth in frustration as she assessed the damage to the ship and their party. The Kirins, as experienced as they were knew how to or had the means to land well… regular Skaelan infantry, not so much. Now that they were in Solitude –she thought she would never have to think this—they were in deep trouble. Especially with injured fellow countrymen and servicemen at that. Looking around, she quickly got her bearings as to where they were in the city.

Éliane checked her pockets, making sure her now very important wind materia were intact, which they were.

The solution to her was obvious, and given that they all knew her background, the others, too. She said it anyway. “Whatever we do now, keep to the roofs as much as we can. Unless there are intelligent, jumping zombies, that’s the safest option we have.” Éliane bobbed her head in agreement with Esben. “Yes. We should head to my family’s bakery. Ever since the crop riots 22 years ago, papa’s always had a mind for being prepared for another riot. Zombies aren’t the same, but it’s close enough, and if we’re lucky my friends from the 1st might be holed up there too. And we can jump to it.”

Scanning the rooftops and the path ahead of them, she couldn’t help but to frown. “It’s not going to be an easy trip from here, though. We’re in Whitewater Gardens, a neighborhood that’s kind of shite for roof jumping in some parts, and we need to get to the Laruelle Bakery in Renelle, which is down that way from here,” she pointed, gesturing down towards a part of the skyline away from the walls. “Still have to try though, because I’m not leaving without giving it a good go.”
