"This isn't even as big as I get," Amato said with a collective roll of his eyes. Without asking, he grabbed Skye by the back of his shirt in one of his mouths, carrying him like a cat might do to a kitten as he began to descend down the tower

Skye yelped, a bit uneasy at being carried like this. "If you rip my shirt we're going to have issues!!" He yelled.

“Who knows, you might like it ripped,” Amato teased lightly, grinning internally as they reached the base of the tower. He landed with a very soft thud before shifting back, chuckling as he dropped Skye

Skye managed to land on his feet. "I'll have you know this is the only good jacket I have!" He said, more than a little miffed by the threat to rip it. "If you want it off me then all you have to do is ask."

Amato could only chuckle as he did a quick stretch. “Alright, stop complaining. We’ve still gotta get you some treasure,” he said as he began leading the way towards the door on the other side of the tower

Skye rolled his eyes and followed quietly. Making note of everything around him. He also took this chance to do a recheck on the guards.

They got to the door relatively easily, as it was only a short walk there. Amato opened the door before the two slipped in, only to run smack into two tall, unamused people in strange dress. “Lord Amato, what are you doing in the treasury so late at night?” one asked, his arms folding across his chest as he squinted at them

Skye backed away in alarm. Idiot!! he thought, cursing himself for not checking ahead. Again. He pulled a dagger from his pocket, hiding it in his hand should they need to fight. He looked to Amato for what to do next.

“Dwyer, relax. I’m just taking a walk,” Amato said with a small little pout. “Come on, please just lemme in?” he asked the man, who on closer inspection looked only about the same age as Amato, if not a little younger.
“Do you want me to make you some tea? I could look for those tea leaves you like that help you sleep,” he offered, but Amato shook his head

Skye stared at the two, taking the chance to make himself less noticeable. What the heck is going on here???

Dwyer seemed to pout a little, and Amato sighed. “If you really want, take some to my room in about twenty minutes. Okay?” This seemed to placate the boy, and he gave a little nod before walking off with a maid

Skye pressed himself against the wall as they passed, hoping to stay unnoticed.

After they left, Amato breathed out a sigh of relief. “You can come out now,” he told Skye, leaning against the wall as he waited for the other to appear

Skye looked up at him, stepping out of the corner. "That could've gotten me killed.." he said.

“I highly doubt Dwyer would kill you. He doesn’t like fighting, it’s not in his nature,” Amato said. “Now come on, let’s hurry up and get you that treasure.”

Skye nodded, "Lead the way" he said, gesturing for the other to lead on.

Amato nodded, leading them down a large spiral staircase before reaching a large door. “You ready?” he asked with a small grin

Skye nodded, getting a bit bored with the theatrics as he triple checked the next room, and behind them, for any guards or danger.

Amato pulled the door open, revealing a lavish room full of treasure up to the ceiling in places. “Alright, find something kinda mediocre I guess. Like a coin or something,” he said with a shrug

Skye blinked, "They weren't kidding about 'Legendary Treasures…'" he said, using a whisp of aura to grab a couple of coins. "The second is for the fact that I nearly got killed, and later bragging rights.." he said smugly.

“Yeah, there’s a lot of shit here, with the magic stuff buried around here somewhere,” Amato said, shrugging as he took a brief moment to stretch

Skye nodded, having already sensed some of the enchanted stuff. "So, you got any easy ways out?" he asked.
