[ X’rhun would count it no less than a miracle that this woman is so quick and willing to take them at their word. Together, he and Prompto usher them to the elevator and their sleeping charge. They’re cutting it close, though, because now X’rhun’s own ears are picking up the approaching soldier’s footfalls, getting closer by the moment.
He and Prompto linger in the hall while the family files into the elevator, but no sooner do they get inside than the door to the stairway does burst open, black clad and armored figures poised to file through. Two things happen in quick succession: first, X’rhun jams the button on the elevator, setting the door sliding shut with he and Prompto left behind. Second, an elongated cube of red light springs into being at the base of the doorway, X’rhun’s powers activating, unbidden. The first soldier through the door catches a boot upon the shape and topples forward. It’s just unexpected enough that three of them go down in a heap before the fourth catches wise and stops short. He doesn’t pay his fallen comrades much heed and instead brings his gun to bear.
X’rhun grabs Prompto’s arm, tugging him down the hall. ]
Move!
[ Well, they’ve got their attention now, so hopefully it’s enough for the woman and her family to get to safety. ]
