A manor of this size would probably have plenty of entrances, something he'd never understand about rich people. If anything, the sheer size of a place like this was the biggest flaw in its security. Removing his mask so he could hear properly, he put his ear up to a window around the rear entrance. Not hearing any footsteps or breathing, he wedged his knife under the window and snapped it open with a quiet crack. After making his way in, he situated the window so that from the outside it appeared to be shut. [color=007236]"Second story, first room on the right."[/color] He muttered the instructions given to him. The lockbox was supposed to be a very expensive one, expertly made. If it wasn't supposed to be bolted to the floor, he'd probably just take it and sell it. Not only could he not do that, but their client had asked him to make sure the lock was still in one piece, it had to look like someone had used the key to open it. [i]Framing is pretty complicated[/i] Jiru thought to himself. [i]One slip up, and the authorities might doubt your target's motive.[/i] Once he made it half way up the stairs, he stopped and listened. There were footsteps, but they didn't seem to be heading towards him. He hoped Tsu had made it into the building. Once he started on that lock he'd need perfect concentration, which meant he would need someone to watch his back for a moment. In any other situation he'd just break the mechanism and take what was inside, but the insistence on leaving the lock intact made this a lot more complicated.

Then again, it didn't make a whole lot of sense in the first place. With a light sigh, he buried his head in his hands again. After a second or two he stood back up and dusted himself off. [color=0072bc]"I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't afraid of death. Though, to be honest there aren't many other options here. If I join up, I could learn how to fight...and to protect other people. I'm not going to pretend to be the heroic type, but I might as well pitch in. I have a debt that I aim to repay here."[/color] Ryan said honestly. It wasn't like he had much to lose here anyway, as far as anything went he was dead to the few people that he had cared about before now that he was stuck here. [color=0072bc] "As for learning about this world, I'm not really much of a scholar. Learning how to read and write in a new language is going to be an effort in itself...If it's not too much to ask, could you let me know if you find anything out?"[/color] Ryan asked. While he was far from unintelligent, something like this would take a lot of effort that he wasn't willing to expend for empty answers. Curiosity wouldn't be enough to convince him to learn an entire language. That being said, he'd probably have to learn it anyway...reading would probably be the only form of entertainment available here.[color=0072bc] "I'll do the same if I stumble upon anything, I promise."[/color]
