As night fell two cloaked figures slid into a secluded alleyway both with a couple serving of some greasy street food in their hands. [color=#0050ff][b]"Why didn't we just wait at Alex's place?"[/b][/color] [color=#018c3b][b]"We can't exactly have an open conversation in front of Alex now can we, also I'm pretty sure she's gonna escape that building anyways."[/b][/color] [color=#0050ff][b]"...Yea, that actually makes sense."[/b][/color]

A dull thud behind them announced the arrival of the third member of this mission, who took the moment to dust himself off. [color=#0050ff][b]"Did you find something?"[/b][/color] Raudd asked as he tossed the man a wrapped burger thingie. [color=#859abc][b]"Well yes. I took a little peek through the window and I can tell for sure that she's dual natured. However there is a problem, her astral form is wounded."[/b][/color] [color=#018c3b][b]"Wounded?"[/b][/color] [color=#859abc][b]"Yes my lady, it's her eyes... It looks like her eyelids were torn off by something long ago."[/b][/color]

[color=#0050ff][b]"... That's a problem right?"[/b][/color] [color=#018c3b][b]"On a person uninitiated in the magic world, more than you can imagine. I don't think there even are any mages that would willingly have those eyes open all the time."[/b][/color] [color=#0050ff][b]"So how do you solve that, can it be healed? Or does she have to put her astral hands in front of her eyes every time she doesn't want to see?"[/b][/color] [color=#018c3b][b]"No that's redicul... Wait, that might be possible. Did you just have a good idea?"[/b][/color] [color=#0050ff][b]"Yeah, helps if you don't have your mind in the gutter all the time."[/b][/color] A true statement which immediately resulted in a retaliatory jab from his sister.

An unmistakable crash of glass shattering then pierced through the sounds of ShieldTown followed by the crunch of something a little weighty and wooden being the loser on the second impact. [color=#859abc][b]"We got movement."[/b][/color] [color=#0050ff][b]"Well you were right."[/b][/color] He said as he jumped onto one of the stags and rushed after Merllwyn who was tracking Yue's trace while running as fast as he could through the streets and alleys. His uncanny speed and acrobatics allowing him to easily pass through, over, and around even the most densely packed crowds, who needs ground when there's walls anyways.

With a considerable delay the three managed to follow the trail to it's owner. [color=#0050ff][b]"All the way back to the edge, fuck."[/b][/color] He exclaimed noting they were not that far away from where they had jumped the wall in the first place. Merllwyn was standing still as he looked at the two atop the rooftops, the hairs in his neck raised, his graceful posture lowered down to a fighting pose and low rumbling growling escaping his mouth. [color=#0050ff][b]"What's wrong?"[/b][/color] Raudd asked once again being annoyed at the magic bullshit he knew was happening, but simply lacked the tools to perceive. [color=#859abc][b]"I'm sorry my lady, there is something truly malevolent up there, and it's powerful. It's taking everything I have to maintain composure, I won't be able to go any further."[/b][/color] [color=#018c3b][b]"Could you make us a path up at least?"[/b][/color] To which Merllwyn slowly nods with some uncertainty and a path of brambles begins to form.

[color=#0050ff][b]"You wait for that, I'm going up."[/b][/color] Raudd said as he ran off to parkour his way up the side of a nearby building, vaulting from narrow balconies up to the edge of the roof several times in his hurry nearly missing his jump he manages to beat his sister to the roof.

[color=#0050ff][b]"You're not holding up well now are you? You're shaking like a leaf. I'm considered to be a good listener if you need to vent."[/b][/color] Raudd said as he sat himself down next to Yue opposite of the 'dangerous creature' Merllwyn waned him about, but still within range to grab Yue should miss featherdress try something. Honestly she didn't look all that dangerous, little strangely dressed though... No wait, those weren't clothes, that's a whole different kind of dangerous. Better not look too much directly at her, and especially not with sis present.
