[ Manon’s sprint is immediate and fast, even despite the weakness remaining in his limbs and his Shard from his revival. It’s mostly adrenaline alone that has him immediately bolt as soon as he catches a glimpse of the girl. He recognizes her, and he’s not going to say and figure out the motivation. As far as he’s concerned, this is Aetos coming to clip up a loose end. Promises be damned—he’s been lucky to live, and he won’t waste that chance. Especially not when he’s immediately pursued.
Some of these people he knows (or, “knows”, Communing with people this last month has been odd), but it’s the one he doesn’t that have him running hard and fast. He’s deft and sure-footed in the roots, easily leaping over the protrusions that could cause someone to stumble. He’s someone used to running. If the journal is to be believed, it’s exactly what you’d expect from an assassin, right? ]
Just let me go!
[ He does shout back to the people pursuing, and Hayame and Liem are unsurprisingly the ones gaining ground quickest. He might trust them a little more, but… Trust isn’t something he has a deep reservoir of. ]
I’ll be gone, so just go kill those things instead!
