Havessa only nodded and allowed Allure to take her arm once again. She mentally prepared herself for the insanely fast travel, though she wasn't sure how well she would be able to handle it again. They seemed in a rush, and without a doubt, since the guards were beginning to collect down the street. Havessa hoped that she would be able to speak with this girl in a while, once every one was safe, and then, she could learn about what's happening, learn the greater plot involved, and then decide upon her next action. And this way, it will give this girl time to learn about Havessa as well, who knows, she may contain the answers that Havessa seeks.

((Just imagine this post came AFTER the post below it, Alex's post.)) Allure noticed the knights gathering more and more. From fear of being noticed, she found it time to move again.
Within moments they had crossed over 11 roofs, almost silently. Allure used her wind control to make the wind to such. Her steps would be impossible to detect for those within the house...not when she was so careful and swift. Even if something was heard, she doubt it'd be enough to bring suspicion.
On the either roof, she collapsed under the strain. She didn't have enough energy to soften the impact for the two she carried. She needed a bit more time to rest again unless they wer willing to risk her strngth failing mid-air.

Sam stood up again "I think I want to try something" he said and smiled "I think I can make my self fly... well, kind of. It's complex" he added and began to laugh quietly.
His eyes faded to a dull grey and small stones around him began to lift into the air "nope, nothing." he muttered and let go, the stones falling back to the roof top.
He turned back to Allure and let her take his arm "be gentle." he muttered and closed his eyes.

The trip was very fast indeed, and with Allure's sudden collapse, Havessa was flung across the top of the building where in attempt to gain some balance, she fell right over the edge. Still dizzy from the travel, she couldn't manage out the instinctual scream, but however, managed to hold on to the eaves troughs of the building. This was not good. They weren't built to withstand her weight and whatever iron nails were holding her there, one by one, began to pop out of their socket. Havessa gasped as he flung backward, still holding onto the trough. "Oh s**t!" she hollered as she continued to dangle. Her fingers were being cut by the metal and she let out a gasp as blood trickled from the joints of her fingers. All of this, happening within a matter of seconds of their landing, not fast enough for Sam to react, let alone the drained Allure. Havessa's eyes widened, then shut tightly as her fingers slipped, and her body dropped the good few stories down below. Just as she fell, a massive rush came through her body, it felt warm, and powerful.
Opening her eyes again, she wasn't hurt, amazed, save for the cuts she now bore upon her fingers from the rusted eaves troughs. She had fallen into another ally way, with no one around. It didn't seem like the others had done anything, not yet. Then, how did she land unscathed? Havessa gazed up at the roof she had just fallen off of and was going to try to climb back up, when a guard caught sight of her from the street.
"Hey!! You!!" The guard shouted and pursued to capture her. Havessa only took a moment to register what was happening before she bolted down the ally and to the street at the other end. Perhaps she could lead the guard, or guards away from the two on the roof.

Allure had lost of Havessa and panicked as she noticed she fell. She was even more surprised when she noticed Havessa running from a guard below, seemingly unharmed.
She worked quickly to, once again without thinking, save the woman she hardly knew.
Some of her strngth recovered, enough anyways. She drew her blade and morphed it into the Snowflake Disk, a form she rarely used. She dulled the edges so as not to cause too much harm then thrust the disk at the knight, controling its path. The disk hit his shoulder knocking him down. They were far now, Havessa and the Knight. She knew the hit couldn't kill but she wondered if it was enough to knock the knight out...

Without even looking back at whether the guard had followed her or not, she dashed into another ally way only three blocks away. She doubted the guard could have kept up, or kept his eye on her as she disappeared into the crowd on the street and ally. Looking back only once, was when she saw the ice disk flying through the air. Havessa twisted about and lunged into a building where she lept up the stairs. Her goal was the roof. And that perhaps it would be easy for the two still up there to spot her. Havessa had to climb out of some ones bedroom window in order to get to the roof. She was high enough that the guard would not notice her attempt. She grasped the ledges tightly, despite the pain the ripped through her hands from the cuts. She was still bleeding, but she didn't really care. Havessa just kept climbing.

Sam fell to the roof top as Allure dropped him and rolled to his knees "Flight, check. Landing, Not so great..." he muttered and looked up in time to see Havessa roll off the roof top and hit the ground.
He jumped to his feet and dashed for the edge of the roof as a large, blunt disk of ice flew past his head and cursed loudly as he jumped off the roof.
He hit the ground hard and rolled onto his shoulder as his right leg went numb and stood up, looking around for any sign of the young girl.
He trailed after the sound of banging metal and came to an alleyway with a locked door.
Sam drove his fist into the door and cursed as he backed into the alleyway, and looked straight up "C'mon, don't fail me now." he muttered and closed his eyes.
A feeling of lightness filled his body and he jumped straight up, onto the roof and landed softly before loosening his grip on his own body and felt his weight readjust to the normal gravity.
He winced as he limped across the roof top and peered down to Havessa "you're starting to be more trouble than you're actually worth, you know?" he said through clenched teeth as he lay down prone across the rooftop and held out his hand, his eyes still grey "take my hand, I can help you up" he added and stretched forward more.

Allure lifted the disk into the sky with wind force. She moved it quickly, keeping it out of most's view but they still spotted the knight. She had to hope that nobody noticed her and that Elementals wouldn't be blamed for this too....
After it lifted, the color blending with the sky, she summoned it back and turned it back into a sword then sheathed it.
She had lost sight of Havessa when she searched but saw her coming upon a nearby roof. She was still regaining strength but waved to try to get her attention. She saw Sam with her and stopped. She was nearly well now. ((Remember this is the 1700s. I doubt many building were large. XD Hahaha....you guys got to know Allure and attempted suicide is how it looks. xD My character is popular.))

((Haha yea, but I researched Paris in that century, the buildings are very slim, tall, and cramped together.))
The sound of a familiar voice caught Havessa's attention as she gazed up, a hand had reached down towards her. It was that man that had originally spoken to her on the street, who seemed to know the other girl as well. Reaching up one of her still bleeding hands, she grabbed onto his and squeezed as tightly as she could considering they were semi-slippery from the blood. "Took you long enough." She teased as he pulled her up onto the roof. Havessa had managed to snag a glass bottle of whiskey from the building she went through. Setting it down beside her, she started to tear her dress at the bottom into two strips. Taking the bottle again, her teeth bore down upon the cork and popped it open. With only a moment of hesitation, she pours the alcohol on gashes on her hand. She failed at attempting to withhold a loud yelp as the liquor stung at the wounds, but disinfected them. And she quickly began to wrap her hands tightly in the strips of fabric, fumbling about trying to wrap them properly, it was difficult when both hands had gashes and were bleeding rather badly.

((ouch...))
A disappointed look crossed Sam's face as he watched the girl, Havessa, waste alcohol.
He stifled his yelps of pain and leaned forward "do you plan on drinking the rest of that?" he asked and pointed to the bottle of liqour, as his eyes returned to their emerald colour.

Still fummbling with her make-shift bandages, Havessa glanced up to the man for a minute, and then down to the bottle of whiskey that was missing maybe a cup and a half worth of liquor. "No, go right ahead." She moved out of the way so he could get it more easily and continued to wrap her hands. She really wasn't very good at it. Well, not when both hands were injured. She was even trying to use her teeth in some cases.

Sam smiled as he took the bottle and leaned back, taking a sip, and looked back to her "need a hand with that?" he asked and took another drink "I've some skill with fixing such wounds" he said and chuckled lightly.

Havessa was about ready to give up on bandaging anyways when Sam offered to help her. She wasn't really in any position to decline. Scooting over towards him, she held one of her hands towards him, with a mound of fabric ripped into a strip hanging loosely in her other hand. He better do it quick. The guards were restless down below,a nd that other woman would surely be there any minute.

Allure was already approaching their roof Sam and Havessa were at. She noticed Havessa was injured when got their and reached out her hand.
"I can help numb that...though it'll be painful for a few moment at first..."
She was glad bandages wee being applied. It would lessen the pain for what she had in mind.

Sam smiled as his hands danced gracefully over the fabric, working it into small, useable pieces that he then tied together to form long narrow bands.
He then took up the bottle of liquor and Smiled again, and looked up to Allure"No need, fair lady, I've got this figured out." he said and looked back to Havessa "you're going to feel a slight stinging sensation right about..." he said and trailed off as he up-ended the bottle over the cloth and slowly worked the liquor into the fabric "... now" he added and leaned back to examine his work.
He sighed and took another drink "well, it ain't the best hack-job I've ever done, but It certainly isn't the worse" he said and chuckled lightly.
He stood up and offered his hand again "can you walk?" he asked and spoke again without waiting for a reply "good, because I've done something to my right leg" he added and laughed "didn't quite figure out that lovely little trick of mine in time to land properly" he said and waved his hand.
