[h1]Guillan - Royal Complex: Dungeons, Early Morning[/h1]
[h2]Lautrec[/h2]
[indent] Lautrec looked up from his work. Thankfully the cells weren’t very clean, or regularly cleaned for that matter, so there was plenty of dust and dirt to work with. He would much rather have something more permanent, but there was little to no breeze down here and it would suffice. As there were no guards present he allowed himself Willow’s comforting presence, her warm light enveloping his cell in a small glow.[/indent]
[indent] He wiped the sweat from his brow as he glanced around at his neighbours. Next to his cell was a younger couple, the woman still bleeding from some gash on her head. He didn’t know what they got themselves into, but they probably deserved it. The people down here were probably despicable criminals, capable of heinous acts of crime. It was the Dungeons beneath the Royal Complex after all.[/indent]
[indent] Only the worst of the scum, and treasonous courtly officials, were said to be sent here, so surely they must have misplaced him here, as he was innocent. His only crime was getting caught after all… He looked across his cell and saw a large burly man whom he recognized as Justin Bark, a particularly lunatic lumbering hulk of a madman. He was said to eat the kidneys of kids for breakfast. In the cell adjacent to him was a child of all people, and Lautrec wondered what kind of crime the kid could have committed to get themselves sentenced here. If being next to Justin was any indication of her crimes, he probably was best left not knowing. Still, if the rumors about Justin were true, he didn’t envy the child’s kidneys when Justin got hungry.[/indent]
[indent]The woman stirred in the next cell, and finally woke from her peaceful slumber. Lautrec decided it was best to hurry with what he was doing, before he ran out of time. He looked back down at the dusty floor and continued tracing patterns around where he was seated on the floor. The pattern consisted of circles and strange shapes, with him being at the center of it. He did make sure to mark extra shapes in the direction of Justin’s cell. With his charms and fetishes confiscated, he didn’t want to leave anything to chance.[/indent]
[indent]By the time he was done with his work, the young man of the psychotic murderous duo stirred and woke up as well. Lautrec watched from the corner of his eye what he was doing before focusing back at his ward. Under careful scrutiny he made some extra adjustments and clapped twice to activate the ward he had made. Now he was safe enough until the guards came and rescued him from this place, once the misunderstanding was cleared up.[/indent]
