West stopped and turned his head slightly. "I'm trying to save your lives."
His voiced calmly before shrugging. "But if you'd rather die…"
"…be my guest."
He slapped the marshal's hand off his shoulder and walked away.
His summons emerged behind him, phasing out from his summoner space like silent guardians.
Seraphyra stretched lazily. "I thought you said this was the safest way to travel, Master."
Gor'thala scanned the surroundings. "…This vessel is failing."
Aurethia simply observed while West scratched the back of his head.
"…Yeah but… It's only falling because of me anyway."
Behind him the air hostess and marshal stiffened as a look of realization appeared on their faces.
"…Awakened…" sweat formed on their backs instantly.

West walked back down the aisle and this time, the stares he got were different.
Fear, awe and recognition flickered across their faces as his summons followed him.
"—It's an awakened…"
"…We're saved…"
"…Right…?"
