Aetrius looked at her as she quickly looted the bodies for what she could get, which was some money and more armor tossing it to Kieran who quickly put it on, even with the quickly drying blood. "Look, a lot has happened in the past few years...We'll talk about it all later when we're not fleeing for our lives, but yes. Kyero and I are, other guess you could say friends. While he is deadly, he is an ally to us, okay? Just trust me on this, Kieran." she said standing back up, now with some leather armor of her own and sheathed one of the swords by her side. Kieran looked on in confusion at the new friends that her sister acquired, "Okay...But you'll owe me a few drinks, got that? You know I can't take much in when I'm sober." she said with a light chuckle. Aetrius grinned and nodded, "After all of this is done, I think we'll all need some drinks...Now, let's get back to Lolan and Rose, we need to get out of here." she said as she pressed on, back the way they came. As Aetrius led them, Kieran walked beside her and whispered in her ear, "So, Linde...She's your girlfriend, huh? Finally landed one, aye old chap? Took ya long enough, sis. She's also rather hot, if I'm gonna be honest." she said with a chuckle at the end, purposefully trying to make Aetrius get flustered.
She groaned at Kieran's comment about Linde and continued marching on down the tunnel, "Yes, Linde is...She's something. But don't let her pretty face fool you, she's...terrifying at times." she gave a slight chuckle, but contained a serious look on her face and led the others to another part of the tunnels, seeing more guards flood the underground, "Don't let them escape!" one of them shouted. Aetrius grinned and peered over at Kieran, who only looked at her and grinned back, knowing exactly what she was planning on as she noticed her go for the pouch by her side, "I think it's wise to cover your nose and mouth, you two." she said as Kieran and Aetrius did so, and Aetrius took out the second to last smoke bomb, and tossed it at the soldiers. A cloud of smoke filled the room and coughing could be heard, and as the soldiers struggled, Aetrius and Kieran charged them keeping their mouths covered until the smoke died down and engaged in combat as they had the upper hand thanks to some masks they procured. When the dust settled, it revealed Aetrius and Kieran standing victorious over four dead bodies, as Kieran and Aetrius dispatched of the final guard together, both plunging their swords into his chest and abdomen, dropping his lump body to the ground. Aetrius motioned the others to join them as they proceeded to escape the tunnels and out of Valoc.
