[Sorry Ann, did you NOT want to be suddenly swept off your feet? Too late. Diamond picks Ann up bridal style like she weighs nothing--which, to Diamond, she doesn't really. Ann will find that, in addition to their 'flesh' being so cold and solid as rock, they also don't appear to be breathing at all. There's no rise and fall of their chest or anything that might indicate exertion as they pivot and leap straight into the air. The heel of their shoe slams into the side of a building, chipping the stone, before they use it as a springboard to the nearest rooftop.]
Is there a specific direction we should go? [Aside from...away from the sounds of fighting, probably?]
