Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch The meerkat's message he had heard earlier and the sight of employees going after the department head was all he knew. But all of that was enough to make him want to leave, preferably now rather than later. If the rest of the Ministry caught fire, he didn't want to be trapped in flames. Then there were these rogue employees, who were attacking lovely Sian for no apparent reason.
"There's a fire on Level One," Dante told Sian just loud enough for her to hear. "And this attack on you..." There was a pause as he took in everything that was happening on the other side of the shield he was sharing with the woman. The employees who had been shooting spells at the department head, the employees who were totally oblivious to what was going on, and then a random duck and even a dragon. Choas was all it was. "We need to go. Bain can take care of them later." He was sure the man was itching for people to drain fill up the holding cells anyway.
Since Sian was clutched to his arm and the shield was still up, he starting heading in the direction of the reception area so they could grab a lift and disappear from all of this madness.
But, of course, a simple escape to prevent them from burning and/or being pelted with more spells was easier said than done. What the devil were Conley Phora and Saul Primeaux doing here?
As everything unfolded, he was thinking, plotting, playing out the scenarios of possible moves to make. The orders to stand down went ignored; he did not take orders from Phora and Primeaux of all people. The shield that was protecting him, the files he still carrying with his other hand, and the department head remained.
The duck still being a distraction, the Head Obliviator added distractions of his own. A magical cloud of smoke (he was going to use that mention of the fires to his benefit) suddenly began to appear. Dante then started moving again, whether Sian wanted to move or not, as his shield dwindled and smoke began to fill the space. He casted a nonverbal Oscausi toward Penelope Wright, courtesy of her rambling earlier, and a few nonverbal Stunners through the smoke in Phora and Primeaux's direction as he began inching his way toward the reception area.
