Kantus and Baldwin

East Commons, Baldwin’s Residence
“My favor.”Baldwin winced a bit.
"The bloody favor?” He replied,
“Well, I'd love to help you preen, but can't it wait until morning?"Kantus didn’t bother responding to the joke. He simply spoke closer to the point.
"Did you hear the announcement earlier regarding the Fifty-Eighters?" Baldwin raised a brow as he knelt down and picked up a few random articles of clothing.
"Who did not, with that lovely voice sounding out from every corner and cranny in Voldoa?" He replied. Surely, if Announcer Amelia were here, she’d be outright disgusted with the Bergkonge.
“We have less than thirty minutes. We are leaving. Now.” Kantus said,
“Dress warm.”“For what purpose?” Baldwin replied, as he threw a heavy coat of fur over his shoulder.
“You will know soon.”

Kantus and Baldwin had both made haste for their destination, which Baldwin was still mostly left in the dark regarding. They stopped at a cluster of buildings being overlapped by vines and waited beside a wall. Kantus watched the Engineers’ watchtower in the distance while Baldwin kept an eye on their surroundings, making sure no one was following them, as per the Lord of Owls’ instructions.
“What…” Baldwin said, silently,
“The bloody hell are we waiting for?”“Our diversion.” Kantus replied, as the clock he’d been keeping track of in his head this whole time reached the thirty-second minute of the hour.
