( i said wait here - and he's technically correct. kestrel remembers the command to sit tight, to let rook set off his distraction to get them away from the table and out of their way. the problem is that rook was too slow and kestrel, while perfectly capable of spending months, years even waiting for plans to pan out how he wants them to - well, this one didn't leave much room for error, and their time frame had been moved up significantly from distract to see what's up to distract to keep them from shooting the contents of the truck.
but boy does he love to see rook in action.
from behind the crate, kestrel takes out his gun and shifts so he can see just beyond it without risking getting shot in the face. aims and fires at the goons with their guns still drawn who rook won't be able to reach in time. they're not rubber bullets, not today, but he's aiming for hands, shoulders, and kneecaps. enough to incapacitate, not enough to kill.
yells out after he manages to clear the way enough he can step out without being brained, )
I stayed, didn't I? I was in the same damn place you left me!
( right before he's ramming into another idiot with a gun and twisting the both of them around to use him as a human shield for the other one, who starts at them. )
