(Would it be cool if Uriah found Alex outside?)
(Would it be cool if Uriah found Alex outside?)
(I think he's the only one even remotely close to the door right now…)
Luna stayed silent. She was fighting a silent war in her mind, she could help and lead them to the easiest point of entry or stay back in the guild where it was safe. She knew what her perseverance said, but Alex didn't deserve to be stuck there any longer, "I-I-I know a w-way to m-mini-minimize d-damage."
“Then we won’t drag three people into it. I’ll go by myself,” Eira said, crossing her arms, “Now that Luna is here and same with Sparrow you don’t need me so why does it matter if I die trying to rescue a friend?”
Cyrus stopped and lowered his voice a lot. "What would that be…?"
"E-eira, please don't. Th-there's a h-hidden entrance, I-it's not very well guarded. A-and it's easy to g-get to!" Luna said in a brighter tone despite the grim look on her face.
“Great! Then that’s the way in and out,” Eira replied, “I’m leaving tonight then. If you wanna come then fine or you can just stay here and hope I return.”
"Eira… I can't call myself your friend and let you do that…" Cyrus managed.
He felt as if he was going to explode, he was feeling so much, yet holding so much back.
"B-but you d-don't know where I-it is," Luna said in a cautious tone, "I-I should go with t-to show you the w-way."
Now covered in sweat and burning up he went back to check on the others, it seemed they had gotten nowhere. "Eira you're not going alone, I'll go as well." If he died it wouldn't be as bad he had only known everyone for a year so it's not like him dying would be better than Eira dying.
“You can let me do that Cyrus, even if I have to tie you to a chair so I can actually leave,” Eira sighed, “Luna, you don’t have to come. Can you remember the way and just tell me?”
"T-the p-path…" Luna seemed out of it for a moment. She shook her head, "I-If I c-can get a m-map then p-possibly."
"I'll go… We need you around, Uriah. You're doing important work. The rest of you are brilliant fighters and adept assassins, and I'm just a deadweight and a ball of anxiety, so you take me with you, and throw me out if you need to if it's too hard to get away otherwise. Let me die. I'd rather lay down in front of my old guild and die a horrible death than be responsible for any of you dying…"
Cyrus said.
“If anyone is dying it shouldn’t be you Cyrus,” Eira looked down at her feet and frowned, “You’re not a deadweight because you’re a lead and can lead everyone hear better then I could. Plus, what about Sparrow? How would she react if you died? No. If anyone is dying it’s me and that’s the end of it otherwise I’ll throw you off the roof of this place.” She shot a look to Cyrus.
"So, I occasionally have a good suggestion or two… You can't have a leader whose first response to tragedy is to panic… I stand by what I said, but something tells me there's no convincing you."
Cyrus was trembling so badly, he wanted nothing more than for it to stop.
"Alright." Uriah clapped his hands. "Being frantic like this and losing our cool will not help Alex at all. Luna, I think you should get a map and show Cyrus where the entrance is then make a plan. I would be the next best person to go." He looked at Sparrow but with what happened and her injury he wasn't going to take the chance of losing her, Cyrus has a guild to run and Luna just got back. Uriah had training and thought he is ready to go on his first mission.
“Fine, so you and me will go get Alex then Uriah.” Eira said looking over at him.
Luna frowned slightly. She didn't like that so few were going, but was grateful she wasn't going to go. She looked to them, "S-So where can I-I find a map?"
"Give me an hour to calm down some, a few minutes to talk strategy with you two, and I'm all yours…" Cyrus replied.
An empty glaze had passed over his eyes. He was feeling terrible, and didn't know if he'd be up to a rescue, but if he died on the mission- well, that wouldn't matter, would it?
(Well, it’s nearly midnight here so Ima head to sleep. May or may not be active tomorrow due to family stuff… night guys)
(Night!)
(Goodnight!)
(Night)
(Night. I also just go bye.)
(…Luna just stands there like an ignored chickadee.)
