It seemed that almost as soon as Rue had begun to consider the thought of asking the artificer for help - however difficult that might turn out to be - the presence of both he and the assassin had started to move away, and quick checking showed her that they were being followed by two somewhat skilled psychics. She sighed and wondered if it would be enough to wait for them to return.

After a few moments, she intercepted the assassin's mental cry and rolled her eyes. She stretched slightly, then motioned to Lev. "Come!" She took off running in the direction of the artificer and his two pursuers. She could care less about the assassin's safety and, in fact, somewhat hoped that some harm befell him, but she had only just decided that the other man might be useful to her.

"Get ready," she warned her bodyguard. When the two psychics were just out of sight, but their presence was strong enough to manipulate, she lashed out and took them while they were off-guard and not expecting her, invading their thoughts with wild and incoherent violence, aiming to startle them and turn their attention on her just long enough for her gun-laden friend to take care of them.
