As soon as Hevel was able to lure the guards away from the front gate, Servus quickly snuck out of the bushes and adjusted his attire. But before he was able to go, the manakete had a few words for him.

[color=9e0b0f]"Go on."[/color] She told Servus. [color=9e0b0f]"I won't be able to go with you as I stand out too much."[/color] 

The rideless rider nodded.

[color=a0410d][b]"I mean~"[/b][/color] he started, until pausing a second to adjust his wording, [color=9a0410d][b]"Yeh, unfortunately it appears so."[/b][/color]

He's not going to tell her a thing about his initial plan about having her prisoner, for that would be utter suicide. His reward for keeping his mouth shut was a few words of advice.

[color=9e0b0f][i]"But you should be able to blend in. You even smell like them. Should you get the chance, there are some buildings almost directly in front of thus that you should investigate. I feel the Emblem's presence from somewhere underneath them. Grab it and get out."[/i][/color] 

Servus would glance briefly past the gate, noting the nearest buildings towards him. If the Emblem is indeed in those houses, he'll need to be quick and sneaky in order to safely nab it and get out as soon as he can without getting spotted. He'd nod again in acknowledgement.

[color=a0410d][b]"Yeh."[/b][/color] he says rather confidently, although a hint of doubt did vaguely escape his mouth before shaking it out of his system, [color=a0410d][b]"Yeh, will do."[/b][/color]

And there was just one more thing the Manakete had to say.

[color=9e0b0f][i]"And...should you get into trouble, I'll come with Ambroli when you whistle to bail your ass out."[/i][/color]

[color=a0410d][b]"Oh?"[/b][/color] Servus hesitated for a second before Kara would glare at him sternly.

[color=9e0b0f][i]"But only because Ambroli likes you, got it?"[/i][/color]

The desert-wyvern issued a soft chuckling noise as she rustled her feathers. The rider, for the last time, nods confirmingly.

[color=a0410d][b]"Well,"[/b][/color] he shrugged as he takes off, [color=a0410d][b]"Alright then. Wish meh luck by Naga's grace."[/b][/color]

As he reached the exposed portion of the castle, his brisk walk turned suddenly into an ordinary walk as he puts over his hood to make his identity less noticable. He'd enter the castle and briefly glance at his surroundings. To his right, he notes a group of Jehannan guarding a group of what could only be the remaining few Grado forces that had surrendered. It's unlikely he'll be able to free them on his own, for unless help arrives, there's simply nothing he can do right now. 

To his left, Servus notes two lone houses, each guarded by at least one guardsman. The first one only had a single axeman guarding its doors, however the one father has two guarding an armored knight. 

And dead ahead he can see the coliseum peaking out of the woods, with the castle walls looming in the distance. Logically it only makes sense to start inspecting the homes and hopefully find the emblem there. If it's not anywhere underneath the houses closest to him, his next goal would be to investigate the castle... although it wouldn't be an easy task in the slightest. Whilst looking in that direct, he takes one more peak at the small woodland bushes and saw for a brief moment what appeared to be someone hiding in the bushes. Servus couldn't tell who he/she was, but indeed he must be wary whilst deep in enemy territory.

Servus begins walking northwards towards the castle and inspects the four rows of houses to his right. He wouldn't imagine the Emblem to be closest to where the guards were guarding the last of Grado's forces. Perhaps they would be at the last row closest to the castle walls? He might as well check from top to bottom and see if he can find a way underneath the homes. Yet as he turns to the next aisle, he spots someone barreling out of the third house farthest from him, nearly startling him.

[color=a0410d][b]"The Hell?"[/b][/color] he asks quietly beneath his hood as he quickly scuttles behind the nearest house at the third row.

He peaks out of the corner to see what's going on. By the gods... is that another wyvern raider? Just bursted out of a home just like that with the mount? What's it doing here? And shortly after he notices another person coming out of the home. This time it was a... cavalier? How were they able to get into the house unseen...?

Unless they're confirming that there are actually underground tunnels within the homes?

If that's the case, then surely the Emblem was going to be somewhere underneath. Servus could try and ally with them, but his attire definitely makes him look like he's part of the enemy. They probably wouldn't believe him, or even if they did, he'll draw way too much attention. He needs to get inside a house quickly to confirm this. The house he's behind is guarded by an armored knight, and now with four making their presence known, no way he'll be able to get inside this one. 

But what about the home above on the fourth aisle? He looks ahead of him to see a single axeman walking or guarding behind it. It would make sense for him to be alerted to the action happening nearby and leave his post to investigate. Servus waited until the axeman was out of his way and after checking everywhere else for any other enemy troops, he makes a dash towards the house and would begin to inspect it as soon as he got in.
