Caelan promptly stiffened up when questioned, keeping his eyes off of the Captain as not to betray his fear. Had he seriously blown it that quickly? He had no idea how these people operated but clearly he must have spoken out of turn. Glancing over at Link he again debated on attacking the man, yet once more that wouldn't be necessary. Relieved that Regol had averted a fight breaking out he sighed, his posture relaxing somewhat as he shook his head. This was just so dang stressful, he'd never had to sneak around like this before under constant scrutiny of guards. Maybe a few monsters or other treasure hunters, but you could deal with them and move on. If they tried doing anything here it'd be an all out war, one he was positive they wouldn't win.

So they had a bit of time to themselves at least, and hopefully enough to come up with some plan. Following Regol's lead for the time being they passed through another doorway and into a long hall, one which thankfully they seemed to be alone in. Just to be sure they moved over to a darkened corner for privacy where Regol constructed a model for them, one of the castle apparently. The building was larger than Caelan had originally thought, and if the Princess wasn't on this floor then they had quite a lot of ground to cover. Fifteen floors and counting, all of them no doubt sprawling with guards looking for their heads. How long would news of their arrival go unspoken? 

"There has to be a faster way around, sneaking like this is going to take all day," Caelan muttered, inspecting the model closely. Secret passages, stairways that passed through every floor, something to quicken the pace. Scratching at his head for a moment he trailed a finger along one of the corridors as he tried to find some kind of route that would get them around the quickest. "Jeez... Link? I don't suppose your magic could help us any?" he asked, looking to the other boy hopefully, "Or... Maybe you've got something to help us get around quicker? I don't know... A rope or something?" They could always scale the walls, albeit doing so in the middle of the day, with guards all around? Maybe not.
