	Things were certainly not going as Thalken had anticipated. Had he expected to just mosey on in there without any hindrances? No, far from it actually. He had honestly expected to be jumped upon sight, dragged in, interrogated, and potentially held prisoner. Why do it then? It allowed for a small window of opportunity to prove his change of heart. If it didn't work? Well, then he would get what he deserved. He would atone for all his sins, all those years of being a merciless killer before he saw the light. In the end, he would atone for it through good deeds, hard time--or death.

	Thalken listened to the guard's reply, his arms still crossed over his chest. The guard continued to adamantly deny the Lady Crypt's presence in the Tent City, and it didn't take much thought on his part to realize that they were protecting her. He had to give them a bit of respect for that. His dark eyed gaze took in the subtle movement of the guard's hands down to his belt of weapons. Thalken tensed and fought the urge to take on a defensive stance. His jaw clenched from the effort. 

	A dark glint flashed through his eyes as he was then once again denied entrance. This was quite irksome. He could just try to fight his way in, but he quickly dismissed the notion. Getting physical would only serve to further incriminate himself. If he wanted to speak volumes, turning away and coming back tomorrow would do just that. However, the truth was that he was afraid that if he turned away now he wouldn't have the courage to come back. It would be so much easier to just run away from it all, but he knew that if he did that he would never find even an inkling of contentment in his life. The guilt would slowly gnaw at him until there was nothing of him left. 

	So Thalken decided to just change tactics. He fell back on his more cunning ways. Perhaps he was taking a risk, a risk to his credibility, but what else was he suppose to do? Besides, old habits die hard. [color=556B2F]"You know there is more than one way for me to get inside,"[/color] he retorted. For a moment there was a noticeable edge to the tone of his voice, but it was soon smoothed back out. [color=556B2F]"Yet here I am taking the appropriate mode of entrance,"[/color] he continued, gesturing with his hands for a moment before holding them up with his empty palms facing them. [color=556B2F]"Fine. Fine, if the Lady Crypt is currently too busy, I will wait. I'll wait [I]here.[/I]"[/color]
