Hayden is a professional and will always prioritize the task at hand above his own shallow wishes!!!
...it's true. He hopes that Allura will Notice Him. Not just because she is beautiful and her voice is musical and all the rest, but because her skills are impressive, something he can respect. Hayden may have mellowed out, but he's an excellent swordsman, and really always has been. Probably he will always have an underlying desire to impress and be respected in turn, especially by those he views as the most amazing.
Alas. He'll just have to be the best spoiled rich damsel in distress that he can be.
"That all sounds reasonable," he says. He looks to Ellis for confirmation, and she nods. "Right. I'll give you both to the count of thirty for a head start, and then I'll go."
As he speaks, he removes the badge that marks him as an Enforcer and stuffs it into his pocket. The more he looks like a lost aristocrat, the better.
