Ugh, explosions. Someday his hearing is going to go (and how it or something else hasn't is either his luck or his x-genes or both), but he just runs. Business as usual, all over again. Ilde shoves him and he goes, because she knows the area better. They're long gone before anyone else shows up, and in the dark, no one even saw them to begin with.

There are worse ways to arrive in town.
