The woman's gaze never shifted from the building, though her hands did tighten slightly on her sword.<strong>"Too late."</strong>She hissed in clear pain.<strong>"I'm done, burnt.  I have only minutes."</strong>She lifted her chin slightly at the building, but still her gaze never wavered.<strong>"It's a Tear hunter, he'll pursue you if he sees you, mark you, find you."</strong>She sucked in a breath as she shifted slightly, then noisily exhaled.<strong>"Drain you, kill you.  Run!  There's a ship somewhere nearby, an infernal machine.  They're using it to power their weapons, to siphon our energy.  You must destroy it!  Go!"  </strong>She shifted to lower her sword in preparation of striking upwards, her teeth clenching together as she moved, as a few shards of glass tinkled to the sidewalk below the building.
