Kesari snorted, taking a right down a hallway as though she knew what she was doing, even though she definitely didn't.

Aquarius walked along behind her, digging his nails into his hand so he wouldn’t fall asleep.
Kesari looked back at him, furrowing her brows in thought, before reaching up and pulling out one of her earrings and handing it to him. "Here. That should help."
“Thanks?” He said, staring down at it, looking slightly confused.
"Use it to pierce the skin." She explained, noting his confusion. "You were using your nails, but that might help too. I've…used it a few times, when I've been drugged."
“Okay,” he said, stabbing his arm with it. It helped some, but he still felt sleep creeping over the back of his mind.
She paused, feeling around with her magic, before starting off down a hallway to the left. "People. This way, I think."
“Friendly or not?” Aquarius asked.
Kesari looked over at him, raising an eyebrow. "If I could tell that by blood, I could've avoided half of my near death experiences."
He snorted but said nothing else. Pulling a hand through his hair, he ignored the blood, trailing down his arm to his face.
After a few more minutes, Kesari pulled to a sudden stop, grabbing Aquarius to stop him. Just a few moments later, voices could be hear, coming towards them.
Aquarius tilted his head. He heard voices, but not what they were saying. Sleep tried to fog his brain
"God-don't fucking fall asleep on me." Kesari pointed at him, drawing her knife once more.
“I won’t,” He slurred, stabbing his arm again.
In a last ditch attempt to jumpstart his brain long enough to survive the next encounter, she stepped forward, grabbing the front of his shirt and yanking him down to kiss him.
Aquarius blinked in surprise as she slammed her lips on his. He felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him.
Kesari pulled away after a few moments, turning back towards the sound of the nearing voices. "Please, stay awake. I want to get you out of this."
“Yes ma’am,” he said. Blinking away sleep, he rubbed his eyes and pinched his arm.
Two men turned the corner just then, both coming to a halt and blinking in surprise at the sight of Kesari and Aquarius.
“Hi,” he said
One of the men drew a sword, looking between the two before going after Kesari, likely thinking she was the easier target. The other man shook his head, making eye contact with Aquarius and shrugging before pulling out his own knife.
Aquarius tossed the dagger from Kes at one of the guys, and it lodged in his throat.
Kesari narrowly dodged a slash from the man with the sword, knocking the sword from his hand with a few quick maneuvers, and had him pinned to the wall a few seconds later.
