Shadow reached down and grabbed some of the mud that was around. he spread it over his shoulder's so that the bulge of his sword hilts would look like a broken bone. he then moved that arm so that it looked like he had been injured and was in pain. " lets go then. they will think i look crazy if i have random bumps near my shoulder." he made his ware carefully through the crowds of people. he remembered the streets that he would want to take. he made sure that he was close to Aery all the time just in case anyone tried anything. before long they were standing outside the compound. shadow looked it over and saw that everything was closed and locked. he reached into his gold pouch and pulled out a paper thin piece of metal and handed it to Aery. " this can slip under any window and let you break what ever is holding it closed."
