Alex thought he had done well so far, managing to avoid the guards closing in while they were distracted chasing after the twins and Tori. Unfortunate that the latter had gotten wrapped up in all of this, but with how she had treated him over the duration of the trip he didn't feel too bad about it. Besides she'd be fine, probably. Well, assuming she didn't phase out of existence like a ghost again as she had done previously. 

Yet as he ran he found himself distracted, the Relic he had managed to bring along shaking and seemingly determined to leap out of his pocket, as if the thing itself was angry with his decision. A quick glance showed that it was flashing back in the direction of the Cathedral, but even so he wasn't about to listen to a rock. If it didn't like it then it should have gone with Tori while it had the chance.

"Geez," he grumbled, glancing down at the Relic that he held at the same time. "Apologies for not heading in towards the place where apparently every soldier in the Imperium is heading." Sure, he was a daring thief and what have you, but that didn't mean he was a full on idiot. the only way he was going to get anything out of that adventure back at the temple was if he managed to get away and not be arrested. And so far he seemed to be doing a pretty good job at that. 

His muscles worked as he finally let out the energy, exulting in the adrenaline rush of his flight for safety. He didn't know what was up with his Relic, but he was not going to let it stop him from doing what he wanted. "Should save myself the trouble and just drop you off in a thrift shop somewhere." Not that he would do that, even if it was very tempting. One way or another, he wanted to get something out of this.
