[b]ALERIS MONFERRAT[/b]

Interaction: [@pkken][@Moonberry][/center]

Aleris hushes himself when he hears the guards speaking. No matter how riveting the conversation may be, it is not worth being discovered. A fruitless endeavor though. The soundward bubble served to protect them. But Aleris is every careful. Especially so early in this endeavor. He has reason to be silent beyond the guards' presence. He must consider. Three options ahead of them to traverse. None of the three look particularly promising. Two of them feeling like very likely paths towards a brawl. And one being sub optimal for their goal of getting to the cells as quickly as they can. He weights the options, carefully contemplating each. 

The sounds or roars and screams making the contemplation harder. Both due to the added horrors and challenges that such things present, and also because the noise is simply difficult to drown out. He finally comes to a conclusion though. One that he knows that will be a difficult sell. And while he can deceive people fairly easily, he isn't quite as versed in persuasion. He will need to make his suggestion sound.

He hefts his large rusty hook on his shoulder to make holding it more comfortable as he turns to Mikhail. He whispers to the Elf, "Are you a risk taker?" He asked. Not waiting long for an answer, he continues on by explaining the purpose of his question. "I would venture to suggest that if we follow the sounds of screaming and monstrous rage, that there will be very minimal resistance left behind. And that creature may not be inclined to back track. Behind it, might be the safest path forward, as paradoxical as that may sound."
