"I, I want to know the original guardian's location," Aliana said. If they could split up the two then they could get both and Aliana would gladly give something if Hatta wasn't going to turn into a monster, "And, and I'll give whatever you wish to take from me."
The girls frowned a little. "Are you sure you would split up?"
"It isn't…smart." the other replied.
"If he can ask for both then no," Aliana responded, "If he can only ask for one, then yes."
The girls looked at each other, then at Aliana and Hatta, studying them.
Aliana went silent and bit her lip. She hoped she had made herself clear.
They looked at each other again, heads tilted to the side as if they were speaking to each other.
Aliana looked to Hatta slightly worried they wouldn't let this happen.
Hatta crossed his arms silently, frowning a little.
Aliana bit her lip enough to almost draw blood before she probed the girls softly, "SO?"
The girls glanced at her. "We are considering." They replied at the same time, then looked at each other again.
Aliana gave them a nod and went back to biting her lip in worry successfully drawing blood this time. Though entirely on accident. She felt the taste of start to trickle in and she stopped biting her lip.
The girls cocked their heads at each other, silent.
Aliana licked her lips in an attempt to keep the blood only inside her mouth and waited for the girls to enter.
The girls finally said, "We can tell you one thing only; the location of the guardian. He may help you find the sword. If not, you can return here."
Aliana looked to Hatta to see if he was okay with that. She didn't want to act rashly again.
Hatta swallowed. "What do I need to pay for that?" He asked slowly.
Aliana glanced back to the girls and then back to Hatta.
The girls smiled. "Not years this time, don't worry. We have no need for that."
Aliana looked to Hatta. These girls took years last time. Years off his life?
Hatta nodded, hand again going to his hair and running through it.
Aliana looked at Hatta nd then to the girls she was curious as to what they would take.
The girls looked at him. "For the location of the guardian…"
"A price must be paid,"
"In equal to the knowledge sought."
Aliana bit the sore spot on her lip as she waited for them.
"So what do I have to pay? Please stop talking in riddles." Hatta snapped.
Aliana was a little shocked at Hatta's snapped, but she should have seen it coming.
