[ Oria gathers Sinclair into his arms and stands while doing the princess carry. He has to think fast, because he has an awful feeling of what would happen if they got their hands on Sinclair again. Things are finally lining up and the pieces start falling in place. ]
I won't let you.
[ Oria holds Sinclair tightly. It's not like Oria hasn't gone through experiments either—all gauntlet knights and their prospectives go through some variation of it. However, when he holds onto Sinclair like this, he knows the shock will affect him too if it activates again. He'll play like the adults and hide behind his mother's reputation. She may have been a former researcher, but that's not the important part. She's well known for being extremely attached to her children and now that she only has one left, people have realized the other thing that she's known for, and it's exacting vengeance that makes karma look like a joke in comparison. It's no mere rumor either, since she really tore into the military when Aria died, resulting in a tenth of the entire AOU military funds to be cut. In this day and age where all nations strive to have equal formidable military power, this was a huge blow. So Oria will use his mother without a second thought for Sinclair's sake. If anything, it will buy him some time at the very least, but it would be great if they don't end up chasing him at all.
Before Oria runs off with Sinclair, he gives a fierce kick to the fallen man's crotch. That's for his sister. Now that it's done, Oria flees with Sinclair in tow. ]
