[color=gray]While it was true that Octavio enjoyed ridiculousness and extravagance, this was too much. Even worse, the man knew his name. Confusing, considering he had given both lynx and himself dozens of fake names over the years. He felt threatened, to say the least.

[color=#dde0c7][i]Alright, so this guy’s not a scam artist or a drug addict and we’re both gonna die.[/i][/color] he thought in a baffled tone with Lynx. Lynx continued to coldly stare at the man. [i][color=lightgray]I’m not sure about that second part.[/color][/i] replied the familiar.

Octavio had planned on travelling to the inn at the center of town, but now it seemed that it probably wouldn’t have much, if anything, of value. Escaping wasn’t an option, since according to Gin their opponents had planned against that. His eyebrow twitched in irritation as he realized he’d have to follow somebody else’s orders and cooperate, two of his least favorite things.

He observed the warriors around the room and concluded them to be the honorable type, which meant that they’d probably spout platitudes of honor and bravery while acting as perfect distractions to use in case anything went too wrong during his new mission. His plans had been drastically changed, but going along with Gin’s buffoonery wasn't as bad as he initially thought it was after reviewing the situation again.

Octavio smiled. [color=#dde0c7]“Well, trust or no trust, none of us have a choice do we? I’ll take some candles as well, barkeep.”[/color] he said. The way he saw things, everything was to his benefit. He would be well protected from danger and have access to his original destination to boot. Lynx emerged from the sadows to simply lie down on the floor now that all of that was over with. The familiar thought of himself as the smart one of the duo, but it was okay to relax in times like this. Were they in front of royalty he would act the role of the subservient and exotic familiar, but they weren't, so he saw no problem in loosening up for just a bit.[/color]
