I would say in about . . . ten minutes. When the Armadura inevitably catch up to us. They are relentless.

[ He rolls his shoulder like that's no big deal. pshhh, just a couple of armadura, who cares?

(there's like five of them.) ]

I hope your aim is still good after all that.

[antivirus]

( Luis, you didn't KILL them? Leon makes a noise of frustration. pain? maybe both! )

Give me your gun and we'll see.

( if it wasn't already obvious, all he's got on him is a knife. and he had to dig that out of a skull before he followed, so who knows what condition it's in. )

[afineknight]

[ He killed one! that has to count for something!

Luis frowns slightly, tipping his head over to the side. ]

Where's yours? Don't tell me they took your weapons again.

[antivirus]

Okay, I won't tell you.

( they did, though. what good would it be to cuff him to a wall if he had a small arsenal worth of equipment on him? the cultists aren't known for deep thinking but even they figured that one out. well, mostly, they did leave Leon with a knife. it was his secret knife, to be fair.

Leon grunts, and pushes a little closer. if there's armadura between them and the getaway, he should be in front. )

[afineknight]

[ ughhhhHHHH.

He sighs deeply, shaking his head even as he allows Leon to push towards the front. ]

Then we need to find them. They would not have taken it very far.

[ read: you're not getting his red9, leon. ]

[antivirus]

And what if it is? You ready to keep this knight in shining armor act up?

( says the guy that bullied his way to the front with only a boot knife. he's trying to bully in more ways than one. look at him, injured, barely armed! practically defenseless, what could be around the corner??? let him at that fully upgraded red9, Luis, he'll be oh so gentle with it 👉👈 PROMISE!!! )

[afineknight]

[ ugh. UGH.

Luis reaches around his back, taking out his rifle. where did it come from? mercenaries space, of course. that's where. ]

Here. You can use this until then.

[ it's a COMPROMISE, amigo. ]

[antivirus]

( 🥹 wow. if he ever had to wonder if the guy liked him, this is pretty damning. Leon is immediately fussing, checking weight, looking down the sights. )

I can make this work.

( LEON ? ??? ?? A THANK YOU ??? )

[afineknight]

[ that is a thank you in leon-ese, Luis knows that much.

He gives him a grin. ]

You see? Now you can have my back until we find your arsenal.

[ because god knows what's in that attache case, jfc. ]

[antivirus]

And then we'll be even, right?

( the math on there does NOT check out, but there's that wry hint to Leon's tone that implies he thinks he's funny. making """jokes""". what can he say, his mood improved drastically with a firearm in his hands. Leon will go to toe with only a knife when he has to, in fact he's quite good at it! still, a bunch of parasitic spaghetti clunking around in armor, some firepower is welcome. )

[afineknight]

My friend, we have a ways to go before we will be even.

[ But he grins right back at him, because — he gets it. Leon can be funny sometimes. ]

HI IM ALIVE !!! do you want to keep going orrrr wrap here to skip the action sequence??

[antivirus]

( Luis is traversing down a slippery slope, thinking Leon is funny. it just makes the stupid jokes worse!! )

We'll see how the dust settles after the tin cans are dealt with.

( though, credit where credit is due — Luis isn't a slouch when it comes to a gunfight. )
