"Messenger, right. Just wait a few seconds before we go in..." He turned back to the alley and waited, counting down from ten two or three times before he got the signal he was looking for. Almost as if on cue, and a little late at that, a giant rapier blade shot up from deeper with in the maze of alley ways and he grinned, leading the way in and towards the giant blade. "That'll mark where something out of the ordinary is, usually the target, or targets in this case. I don't know how they'll react, but if they've stayed in Crocus this long just to get all the magical gear they can shift through, then they won't have left just yet if they've got places left to hit."

He picked up the pace and started running through the alleys, trusting his ability to track his magic energy, plus the fact that they could see the blade, to get them where they needed to be. "You said you thought you knew who these people were. Care to share?" He slid around a corner, keeping his pace towards the towering blade. He could only hope that they weren't too late to catch the group before they attacked again, and maybe even killed.
