Lucas walked with Aria, Nox out in front. Truth be told, Lucas was ok with that. If someone was gonna get hit, he'd rather it be Nox than Aria. Not because he and the man had a strained relationship- well not totally because of that. Mostly because between the two of them, he'd rather Aria get away safe. It was dickish of him, he was sure. But in a life or death situation, pretense didn't last long. He knew that all too well.
They crested the rise and there stood two men, one with weapon drawn. But it was not him that drew the eye. Standing in a center of rapidly clearing ground, visible through clouds of steam, was him. Fear roiled inside him, but he stood his ground. He would not leave Aria to this alone.
Mentally, he felt as if he'd flipped a coin. He was ok with whatever happened. As long as he was with Aria. Aria began to speak, explaining their presence. Her words were...enigmatic. Only bits and pieces made sense. He hoped that The Ascendancy understood her, though. It was clear that she was rejecting her 'assignment', though what that meant for her, he had a hunch, and it was not good. Still, she spoke forthrightly and laid it all out. It took courage.
Lucas had nothing to add. No. He did. Resolve hardened and he stepped closer to Aria and put his arm around her. He tried to send her feelings of love and admiration. Whatever happened to her happened to them. And he was ok with that. No matter what, she'd know that he loved her and was by her side.
No matter the consequence..
