The heat and the lights and the pop-pop-pop noise of a pellets zinging around here were starting to get to Elani, and it was somewhat of a relief to see a familliar face, even though she'd never even seen her from so close down as this. The dwarf yelled something and pointed at the ship, where somebody was hacking at the cables tethering it to the docks with a sabre or something, she didn't know the technical term. Looked like they were cutting their losses and running, literally. What a time to develop a sense of humor. "Mmhr?" She mumbled back, her mouth feeling strangely unfamiliar. She'd clenched her jaw shut ever since the first bullet met it's gruesome mark, some way of dealing with the stress of it all. "Who's 'Nissa.-"
"You two!" Somebody screeched, close by. "Quit lazing around and get on that ship unless you want to get left here!"
Both their heads turned, towards the wildly flailing man with the white goatee and the neatly parted graying hair. Despite that, he struck an oddly imposing figure in the chaos around them, a rallying point they could follow for now without getting them shot,for now. Elani's trembling hands grasped the strap of her bag tightly, and she made a motion to push herself upright, but a poorly-timed blast from a hand cannon struck an ear in that exact moment, and she winced, grasping at her head in shock and confused pain for a second. No blood, though.lucky, She looked up, around at her and over to the ship. At least they wouldn't have to jump there, just a stand up in the hail of fire and hop across. All they were risking was a thirty-thousand foot drop, it was nothing. The fall didn't kill you, after all, it was the sudden stop at the end. A fact that mister Shot-In-The-Face-By-A-Catherine-Wheel would be in all too good a position to think about. She stood up,hefted her bags in one motion across, and flung herself over too, rolling on the hard wooden flooring and up against a cabin wall, Elani made no effort to get up after this. Anything more and she'd just draw attention to herself, here was a good place where she could have a nice little cry.
