Description

Amid the roar of gunfire, the most they could do was duck behind the nearest fence and wait.

"Okay," Leta began carefully, "so are we going around, or should we -- “

"You can get there," Fiearius said suddenly. He sounded mercifully like his normal confident self, but Leta was far from relieved by what he had just suggested. He dropped his hands on her shoulders and turned her around toward the ship.

"Go back out the way we came, around that building, underneath the other ships. They won't notice you. You'll be fine. There's a small airlock on the backside of the Dionysian. Just a door, with a ladder. You'll see it. They'll have a someone there watching it." After a short pause, his expression darkened and he said, "They fucking better have someone there watching it. Just announce yourself before you try opening it."

Fiearius took a deep breath and stood up straight again. "You're good. You can do this. I'll distract them."

Leta stared. This was the same person that had been talking feverish nonsense minutes prior. "Distract them?” she cried. “You can't go that way. You're seriously hurt, you're already half-dead, you can't g--"

Fiearius gave her a gentle push backwards, to which she steeled her legs. But it hardly mattered as Fiearius suddenly turned around, grabbed the gun from his hip, and dodged straight into the fiery fray. Standing there in shock, she swore she heard something of a battle cry rise in the air.
