[Walking away is beginning to look pretty appealing from where Liem’s standing, gently toasted and hiding in an alley. He’s not eager to go another round with this man’s blasts of holy light, and given how ready he seems to be with those shields, Liem is beginning to think that killing him might be more trouble than it’s worth. There are other Pleroma pushing their way into the city, and other Kenoma arrayed to stop them. He doesn’t have to spend his time throwing himself against this one in particular.]

You’d let me leave, knowing I’ll only go make trouble for your fellows?

[Not that he’s in any position to stop Liem from going, but the character of the offer still seems strange—unless this man is needed somewhere else, and is willing to accept releasing Liem at his allies as a consequence. Perhaps that’s all it is.

Either way, Liem isn’t ready to give up on his quarry just yet. He gathers the remains of his own magic to vanish from his hiding place and appear in another alley across the street, then begins circling around on quiet feet in order to come upon the other man’s position from behind.
