It's about then that Ilberd sends Raubahn flying across the room; he recovers quickly, launching himself off the wall to land next to Irhya and Camilla. "I never doubted you. Not for a moment. But there is more to this than I yet understand." He and the other Scions exchange looks, and then he continues, "Flee this place. Clear your names. Find out who is behind this plot; it is the only way! Now go!"

Irhya is quick to get to her feet, only now feeling the absence of her weapon more keenly. She can't do shite without it, and that kind of dead weight is the last thing anyone needs right now. The other Scions are armed, with the exception of Minfilia, but even so... they're going to be tailed until they leave the city limits, and perhaps even past that if they're unlucky.

"No choice," she breathes, as the rest make for the door in the wake of a pile of blue-clad corpses. Perhaps fleeing the city with naught but disgrace upon their names is exactly what this mastermind wants, but... She takes Camilla by the hand, tugging her along and leading her out into the hallway that precedes the Chamber of Rule. "They seized my cane when they arrested me. I hate to ask this, but I'm going to need your help here."
