"Pleasure to meet you two...too." Guthrie couldn't help but smile, perhaps a tad grinningly at his well-placed choice of words. Laughing at his own jokes - if one could call it that - was not something he used to, so the grin quickly turned into a hastened sound of him swallowing. And then he remembered that he was supposed to protect the sisters, and his posture returned to his usual one; one of a warrior, afraid of little to nothing.

"An fair observation...Vala and Sala. Though, no offense meant, I would prefer to have someone beside me who can wield another sword. You two look...well, capable in your own ways, but you probably understand what might await us down there. You know how to protect yourselves?"

All the while the trio was talking along, Theo's attention was suddenly caught by something. A sound, or more, coming from outside the tavern. His ears straightened up, his face pointed towards the door as he intently listened to whatever it was he was hearing. Within seconds, Guthrie caught the sound of his canine companion bark, much to the annoyance of the tavern's patrons. Guthrie caught off his conversation witht the sisters, beautiful as they were to behold, Theo was signalling that something was wrong.

"Theo's heard something. Perhaps our people have found us. Or more likely, trouble." Guthrie said quickly to Sala and Vala. Before the bar keep knew it, Guthrie was already halfway out the door, just behind Theo who was listening intently to where the sound was coming from. Somewhere further down the street, the faintest sound of something...Theo was right, something was very odd. "Search, Theo, search! I'm right behind you, boy!"

I'll do my best to get a post up tonight! Do you@rivaan propose that we venture outside to see the darkness as well?

"Well we can't do it, we have to follow him." Haakon said quietly to Josephine as they began ascending the steps, trying to act as normal as possible, still with a loaded gun in his hand. The people passing them payed them no attention, thankfully. The last thing they needed was for their presence to be known by the escaped prisoner. But still, they had to alert the staff somehow.

Quickly holding out his hand in front of a passing guest to stop beside him, Haakon leaned over made sure nobody else would hear him whisper; "The escaped prisoner is here. Warn the reception and the police, no time to explain.". He gave the person he stopped a brief look, before venturing further up the stairs and leaving the stranger behind. At least he had tried now. Hopefully it would work. And if not, Josephine and him were alone.

What a headline that would make.

The man made his way down through a corrider, past the commons baths and sitting here, finally going up another set of stair. "Forth floor. Okay, suppose he's not after her but indeed after something else, what would that be? Money? This isn't the easiest place to steal something, unless he's bold or stupid. That, or desperate. He did murder that poor man just outside, after all. Besides, I have not seen her here before, and I don't easily forget faces. But let us try to think; What could the clerk have told him?

Even for what Haakon could have sworn would be looked upon as suspecious behavior, the kitchen personel mostly left the duo alone as they made their way through the kitchen. As Haakon had made his way past Josephine to be in the front, he heard something akin a smack behind him, though he couldn't make out what it had been and had no intention in doing any form of journalism involving strange noises in Eygptian kitchens. The big fish was still somewhere in front of them, and the snooping Norwegian fox was lurking his prey. If foxes did such things, Haakon wasn't sure, but they sure did sound clever.

"Wait, do you hear that?" Haakon turned his head slightly around, catching the glimpse of Josephine close behind him. His mind raced back to one of his first days in Cairo, that city he both enjoyed and dreaded.

A bell. A bell ringing, it meant something. During his early stay in the city, he had been told all sorts of things by some local guide. Haakon couldn't understand a whole lot of what the man was saying, his English was far too broken for that. But a ringing bell had been important, that was for certain. Prison. Bell. A prison bell? The prison bell! Yes, now it came back to him; the bell rang whenever someone escaped from the prison. No wait, not just anyone.

"That's him, whom the bell tolls for. It must be. Which begs the question even more severly, why is he here of all places?"

Haakon led him and Josephine down a hallway as they caught sight of their target making his way up a set of stairs, leading upstairs. When the man had been out of sight for a few moments, Haakon gave haste as he crossed the hallway and peaked around the corner to see the man. His revolver was by now visible and ready in his hand, the hammer cocked and finger on the trigger. "He's going upstairs, but what floor? If the remaining exits can be blocked, we can trap him."

Guthrie decided not to dwell further into whatever it was that the twins were so afraid of, preaching unrest and the gods knew what else soon to be upon this land. He had heard that kind of talk many a time before, and he was still alive, so doomsday prediction never fell into good taste. Then again, the twins seemed nice enough, so he simply let them talk of something else.

While he was looking for wherever Theo was, he managed to catch the look in the twins' eyes, subconsciously pondering on what they were meaning with their look - well, looks really, they were two after all. Awfully similar and unison, yet two. But he was thankful once their attention were instantaneously caught by Theo, for their questioning look was not something he'd wish to answer. Not that they weren't a fair sight to lay his eyes upon, for they truly were, but it was his past he'd rather not dig up.

"Great, because I was not planning on staying in this town for much longer either way. I am your in debt, which coincidentally evens out the issue with the map." Guthrie said with a smile to the twins, his eyes shifting from the one petting Theo up to the one speaking to him. Her hair was chestnut brown, her eyes grey as the cold mist in the deepest caves and something about them that spoke of desperation. It was perhaps because of this, beside their help with Theo, that he decided to lay down a piece of parchment.

"This is what you're looking for, miss..." Guthrie let his words hang in the air for a moment, waiting for her - and her sister's - name. "Well, part of it at least. I was planning on venturing beyond this point here and further into the cave systems. With only the map, which I wouldn't mind giving away as payment, you would get too far to simply returning to Shezze and not far enough to make it whatever lies down there. So if you two want the map, you can have it. But I'll be coming along for the journey to map out the rest. Maybe then you can repay the rest of the map, maybe even save my skin? Deal?"

Guthrie opened his previously closed palm, holding it for Vala to take and shake it. It mattered little to him if he ventured out there alone or with someone, but he had the nagging feeling that they wouldn't survive long out there alone. Not without someone to keep them safe.
