[ Ernesto is doing admirably, keeping the attention of the two attackers on him, and it allows Akua to sneak, oh so carefully closer to the back, and into the jail. She's on quiet feet, still in a dress, but her boots are supple leather. It means she can slip oh-so-silently through the jail.
The sounds of battle behind her make her look over her shoulder, but only briefly. No, the target is Rand, who needs to be rescued, before the Kenoma take him. She doesn't know what they'd do, but she has the imagination of a Praesi, and she knows what she would do with an enemy, so she can imagine that they will quickly reduce him to a shadow of who he is. Someone like the Regent is powerful, and impressive, and old. There was a great deal of imagination that could fit in one so ancient. Neshamah had been similar, in his creative cruelty.
The first cell that caught her attention was an empty one, with bent and twisted bars, and she paused, but Rand wasn't there. She moved further in, her spell at the ready, before she found him, and she didn't gasp, but there was a sharp inhale of breath, when she noticed him, and noticed how he looked. ]

[ She looked around, dropped one spell, and in its place, she reached out, to start forcing the bars to disintegrate under her touch with an application of magic, to eat away at the metal. ]
