[Thaum just continues giving his huffy, totally-not-over-here-pouting look, though with the way he glances at Thida it's clear he is indeed making a note of her name. And not pleased that she's still tagging along. At least it means he can keep tabs on her for now, though...]
"The girls?" The other two who were on your team, right?
S'right. See ya there, though? Ain't gonna be pretty if we stick around here much longer. The ol' stun juice's gonna wear off pretty soon.
[Indeed, the lights are coming back on at the police station, which isn't a good sign. Darian gives a casual wave and leaves, slipping into the shadows of the alleyway without another word.
Thaum glances back at the station, fidgety, then to the sewer grate, then to Thida. Doesn't look like they have much choice, if they don't want to get caught again. That weird guy's just letting him go, though? He could ride the underground sewer lines all the way across Inkopolis if he wanted and never show up at Darian's "base" at all!
...but he was also someone who'd busted him out, knowing full well he's an Octoling. And damn if Thaum won't repay a favor. At least it's not to a squid.]
Pfft. Mackerel Street it is. Hurry up if you're comin'.
[With that, he pops into a perfect mimicry of an Inkling's squid form, dropping into the grate.]
