NEMESIS UPSTEAD: NEO-ALLIANCE
They were a bit ripe, yes. "You should have seen the bridge," Nem replied, still quietly, but not trying too hard to murmur given the environment they were both trying to traverse. Chaos covered up most things, particularly conversation, in the sense that not only should it stop others from hearing, but Bernadette might not hear them either, if they were too quiet.

Briefly putting that first question on hold, Nem swerved around a stumbling, burning inferius - and... a jet of water? ... sure - only for a sudden jolt to shoot through their foot again. From the bridge until now, they'd not felt it, or perhaps just been able to ignore it, but the rush of adrenaline was almost over, pain was creeping in (including a new source in their ribs), and exhaustion was threatening to make itself known. Yet here they were, wasting using up these moments on getting Bernadette Grantham out. If ever there was a debt to be repaid...

Still. It worked out in their favour regardless.

Sharing time would come later. Nemesis knew they could get themselves out of this, however it ended, whichever 'side' won, knew there would be future opportunities to talk. They tightened their grip on Bernadette's hand now, and stopped, a short distance from the wall. "Here and there. Get ready to run for the gates." No need to explain when, she'd figure it out. Only telling her the destination had been necessary, in case they got separated out there. Invisible and all. Speaking of.

Moving as quickly as their battered and fatigued body would allow (which was still not exactly a sluggish pace, not just yet) Nem rapped their wand this time on top of Bernadette's head to Disillusion her as well, then turned it onto the wall. "Bombarda Maxima."

The resulting explosion blasted a section of the castle wall outwards (and maybe a little inwards too), freeing up another, much more convenient exit for them. Nem tugged on Bernadette's hand, pulling her that way so that they could flee into the night, ideally before anyone could register her sudden Disillusionment.
