[Well Zelos certainly wasn't expecting for Sheena's cards to actually hurt when she mentioned she had them, if he's being honest. He kind of just pictured she was going to give people deadly papercuts or something. But, okay, they're not dead. Holy shit, they're not dead yet! They might actually have a shot at this!
Zelos dutifully keeps his eyes on the two drivers as Sheena makes her way to the window, sword at the ready, ether pooling around him. He's so on edge that if anyone moves even just a centimeter he's going to fucking fry them with pure, concentrated ether. Or, at least, that's his threat until the other driver--the one with the electric blade--rushes at him, and Zelos quickly, barely dodges, twirling on his heel and crashing his sword against theirs, then pivoting their sword off their grip with a quick move. The other curses and Zelos steps back. Fucking shit, he has no fucking idea how he did that. Then he spots something odd that gives him pause: where the hell are their blades?
He has no time to dwell on that when Sheena calls out for him, and he barely manages to make eye contact for a second before she's already jumped out the window, leaving Zelos spluttering. He stares at the spot where she'd been slack-jawed for a second, then remembers his attackers and sends off an ether blast their way to keep them back as he turns tail and jumps out as well.]
"Well now what!" [he shouts after he lands, because fuck being discreet now that they're officially breaking out of his gilded cage. The gardens are in full-view from up here, at least.] "We're doing rooftop runs? Really?!"
NOT WHEN YOU'RE STEALING GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
