[He smile, but it's not with a lot of humor. Hard to, in this kind of situation. The only mildly funny part is that in a lot of ways he still feels the same about himself. Better at being the support and not the leader. Except he's fallen into the role more often in the last few years. Sometimes he forgets that's the case. The mantle of leader feels strange of his shoulders.]
Works for me. Don't worry, alright. Just pick your targets.
[He nods to Prompto, the sign that he's about to move.
Being the bait. This is fine...
Kaidan round the tree and starts moving. Not a run, this time, but a steady, quick pace with his rifle held at the ready as he scans the trees. It's all very close-feeling, but he ignore the hair standing up at the back of his neck. Let the Vieziri think he's overconfident. Hopefully that's not actually the case.
It takes a few minutes, the tension cut only the distant sound of gunfire. Other battles happening elsewhere. But they have to focus on this one.
And then it happens. The trees barely rustle before the first bolt fires. One hits Kaidan on the shoulder, his barrier blossoming with light for a moment, the other missing and exploding into the tree near his head. They're on both sides of him and slightly forward, their lines of fire crossing with Kaidan at the center, three or four in each group from what they can see. He dives forward to try and escape.]
