It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Sal was offering an opening to escape with Morana, and Banru intended to take it. Feeling her shift behind him, he blindly reached back and grasped her wrist gently.
"Morana," he began, addressing her directly for the first time in this encounter, his voice barely above a whisper and his tone sympathetic. "We need to get you back to Asgard. Quickly."
He hoped that she wouldn't get too upset about leaving Sal's playmate behind, or things could get messy.
