[color=ec008c]"The spear's just for personal use. Don't think too much about it."[/color] Miyu responded but he didn't think the pair of Aren and Marrion would have swiftly dealt with the opposing foes before Miyu could even register it. With Neo immediately placing the final hit, Miyu blinked before he rounded the corner to follow.

[color=ec008c]"Uhh... thanks."[/color] Miyu approached as he tiptoed around the collapsed bodies on the ground. 

With the spears still intact, and the time given to them being brief and temporary, Miyu took to them immediately and placed his inventory space, warping the area in front of him - catching the tossed spears mid-air as they fell into his inventory slowly like quicksand - before both disappearing altogether.

Now he didn't need to buy himself more arsenal for later. Two was enough for the intended purpose.

The following hallways and turns weren't as eventful, nor were they confronted with any other guards blocking their paths along the way. 

That was preferable for everyone involved, of course. But judging Neo's strategic caution and words, it wouldn't be long until they were met with a far serious problem ahead of them. 

[color=ec008c]"I'd wanna go blind myself if I had to witness the world and all its horrors, in all fairness."[/color] Miyu added in response to Izzy's banter. 

What was initially intended for a bout of humour, Miyu turned it around immediately with unaware pessimism as he strolled past with a deadpanned gaze directed to his surroundings. 

He continued, [color=ec008c]"You know, I can't help but pose a question-"[/color] He turned his head towards Izzy- [color=ec008c]"What do you get out of this particular mission? I mean, it's obviously for the money but you don't strike me as the type to go through this level of effort for mere profitable financial gain. Unless it truly is that simple and I'm just misinterpreting your intentions."[/color]

Neither toned with sincerity nor was it placed with any sample of disdain, but pure blunt curiosity that seemed to investigate his current appraisal of the woman.
