Alto seemed to be the careful sort. Even Rio didn't seem so eager about the prospect of actually fighting without even the most basic amount of essence to empower or shield him. Chloe, thankfully, was making her way back to the door. Was Iraleth fully-armored and with a sword? She didn't draw it and didn't rush out the carriage, that was for sure. And there was no way at all that they were going to let Ciara out during this.

Well, honestly, if Alto was as powerful as he presented himself to be, the Instructor shouldn't have any problem mopping up a bunch of brigands and bandits. There was no reason for Otis to step in, except for one.

Rekordia.

Even now, they thought that those that developed Ethos would serve as better fuel for the Gearveins, huh? Naught more than a group of idiotic number-crunchers, chasing delusion, and craven slavers, chasing gold.

Amber eyes narrowed through the carriage windows, and without hesitation, Otis shot first, unloading six shots upon the brigands on one side.
