[/color]Ryan said, slightly scared by just how rigorous the whole process sounded. [color=0072bc]"So long as it isn't too much of a burden on you, I'm sure we've been more than a little inconvenient so far."[/color] The ideal thing sounded a bit dramatic and all, but it certainly wouldn't turn him back. He wasn't exactly the bravest or the strongest, but he always thought those were traits one could achieve through training. The knight that had stuck his head in earlier was relatively suspicious from the get-go, but he simply assumed that it was some kind of cultural thing to simply stick one's head in without actually opening the door. The ensuing conversation only compounded on Ryan's suspicion before finally, another knight basically exposed that this man wasn't supposed to be there. Whatever was going on couldn't be good, and he knew better than to even think about interfering here.

While he thought it had been a bit too easy up to this point, he certainly didn't think that anything this unfortunate would happen. [color=007236]"Well, that's nyot right..."[/color] He said silently cursing his mouth for letting that slight meow out, probably the closest thing he truly had to a nervous tick. unable to formulate a good response to Maria's question. Perhaps he could play it off as some kind of error in paperwork? Yes, that would be perfect. [color=007236]"They must have mixed up your request with another, I was very explicitly told to go to the Iron Bell Knights. Like I said, there are others-" [/color]Jiru's helmet clattered to the floor and rolled for a few moments before clattering unceremoniously in the center of the room. His ears twitched in relief as they were freed while he nervously chuckled at the situation. [color=007236]"Oh. Well, it's been nice seeing everyone but I know when my welcome is up."[/color] Clearly his cover was blown, no excuse he could make would make this better. [color=007236]"Good luck to you strangers if you really want to join the knights, I know they could use any help they can get."[/color] He said earnestly as he smiled at the two humans that had declared their want for joining. Oh, but that didn't mean he was through, no way no how. There was one strategy that had seen him through many a capture attempt. While he spoke he Slowly moved his hand to his pocket, he managed to grip a handful of powder and threw it in the air between himself and everyone else. Turning to run and closing his eyes tightly, he stretched his other hand towards the powder. [color=007236]"Goa."[/color] He muttered as he took off at full sprinting speed down the hall while shouting apologies to everyone affected. Even with his eyes closed he could see the blinding light of the now ignited flash powder. It may have been more powder than he intended, but oh well. It would probably buy him a few seconds to escape. Though leaving without that seal wasn't exactly ideal, but he was given a few days to make the thing disappear. One failed attempt wouldn't be too damning. Honestly, if anything it was probably a blessing. If the Iron Bell Knights tighten their security around it after this he might not even [i]need[/i] to take it. His whole objective was to keep one of the other Atrius brothers from getting the thing, and (at least originally) he was going to do that by stealing the thing and hiding it somewhere else. He didn't exactly inquire as to why it was so important, family matters and all that.
