Re: Lobby; 2:30
With the general smell in the building, it was difficult to place them. Just inside the doorway, Javert remained still trying to place them. Some he recognized and could even place, with a name and face. Others were more confusing, for Luther as well as Javert. His mouth turned downwards at the realization, then stepped forward with his pistol at the ready.
One of the smells stood out more than others - stronger, more prominent and edging closer. The hand on his cane tightened and refusing to look in the direction of the criminal, Javert edged towards the elevator. He didn't plan on heading up it but it would work as a good starting point. He'd know if someone were to approach from behind, while keeping a focus on Eponine. Turning his back to her wasn't the best of moves either - but there was a suspicion that she wouldn't attack if she could get away. There was a hint of respect for that, twinged with the wound in his leg. Not his of course - Luther's which didn't make sense. Didn't the man know his priorities?
But he slowly turned with his back to the elevator, sniffing a bit louder than intended. He looked in the opposite direction of where she was, face composed as if in thought. There was a brief moment before he spun, firing a shot to the left of where she was. There was no intent to kill or hurt her; simply to chase her back where she belonged.
