Whatever the source of the water but not water feeling thing, Falias noted that it seemed to affect the man-mountain Lieutenant differently to the way it affected him as the giant who had been blocking the way forward now sunk down on a knee as if in pain.
He had taken the opening that had opened up however to dart past and further into the warehouse, which seemed to be where all the noises were coming from. Well make that where all the noises had been coming from, as it appeared that he had been held up on the stairs for long enough to miss whatever the main event had been. But from the noises that he had heard prior along combined with what appeared to be blood in one part of the warehouse, Falias didn't need to be a super sleuth to deduce that whatever had happened had been nothing pleasant.
Auras were fading out as Nega-officers started retreating, Order members - senshi and knight alike following suite and it seemed prudent that he should do the same. The route he'd taken down seemed out as a method of retreating given the fact that the floor above was on fire and with the passing of time would have only got worse.
His eyes landed on the freight elevator which seemed remarkably in one piece, and decided to take his chances, hopefully it would hold out long enough to get him - and anyone who chose to ride it with him - out of here.

---------------------------------------------------------
Athene had been focused on the unconscious guardian cat, but at the sound of a voice addressing him his head had automatically jerked up startled. Princess Iris' words made sense however and having already died once on the warehouse floor, Athene didn't really want to repeat the experience.
He glanced at the guardian cat that had followed him over and was currently sat on the floor nearby and watching them "You should come too" he said, his quiet voice solemn. He picked up the cat and let it settle back on its earlier perch on his shoulder before carefully scooping up the unconscious guardian cat (Cora), noting that the warehouse seemed a lot emptier than earlier. "The lift looks like our best bet, but you'll have to hold on."
Athene put what energy he had into covering the distance between them and the freight elevator as quickly as he could, wishing that he could be more gentle on the unconscious cream furred cat in his arms but knowing that the sooner that they all got out was the better and also knowing that trying to tackle the stairs was probably suicidal at this point.
The cat on his shoulders seemed to be hanging on okay and they all managed to make it across to the elevator. Athene hadn't seen Ida or Tsui on the way over and the dark-haired senshi hoped that it meant that if either of his team mates had been in the warehouse then they'd managed to make it out safely.
The elevator moved upwards and towards outside and safety - at least safety from here - and Athene made a note to message Ida and Tsui later just to check that his team mates and friends were okay.
[Athene, Liryn are exiting and they are taking Cora with them]

Figured it would be a good idea for Athene to grab and take Cora along, but if you had something else in mind please poke me and I will edit :3
