Sitting atop the guard, Sin pressed a metal shard up against their neck.
"Now, I'd like you to tell me where the storage is. Also, I'd like the prison cell keys." [Sin]
The guard clenched his fists, but didn't retaliate.
"The keys are at my side." [Alert Guard]
Glancing at the guard's side, Sin confirmed it was true.
"Adam. Can you get it for me? As you can see, I only have one arm." [Sin]
"Sure." [Adam]
Seeing the actions Sin took made the guard make an unhappy expression.
"What? Did you expect me to put down my weapon for your keys? That's funny." [Sin]
Sin playfully twirled the metal shard between his fingers, a sly smile coming across his face.
"Now, the storage?" [Sin]
"Just keep going down the hall. You'll reach another crossroad. Take a right and you'll find it." [Alert Guard]
Sin smiled.
"Thanks." [Sin]
Without another word, Sin knocked the guard out via punch to the neck.
"...I thought you were going to kill him." [Adam]
Sin shook his head.
"Not in front of a kid. …Wait a minute. How old are you?" [Sin]
"Uh… Fifteen?" [Adam]
"Why was that a question?" [Sin]
"...I'm fifteen." [Adam]
"I'm not convinced." [Sin]
Adam shrugged.
"There's nothing else I can say. I'm just the type to answer in a questionable manner." [Adam]
"...You need to work on that then." [Sin]
Standing up, Sin put out a hand.
"...Are you asking for a paw? Do you think I'm a dog?" [Adam]
"Keys! Give me." [Sin]
"Oh." [Adam]
Slightly embarrassed, Adam placed the key in Sin's hand.
"Nice. Let's go." [Sin]
The two hurried down the long hallway. Soon, they met another pair of guards.
"Adam, you take right. I'll take left." [Sin]
Nodding to his commands, Adam did as told. The two snuck up on the guards, quickly dispatching them without a sound.
"This feels like we're in a spy movie." [Adam]
"A spy what?" [Sin]
"Movie." [Adam]
"I don't know what that is." [Sin]
"...I'll explain another time." [Adam]
Sin pulled the guards to the side and started to search them.
"What are you doing? Looting?" [Adam]
"Yeah. Come help me. It'll be faster with three hands." [Sin]
"Ah, a one handed joke. Got it." [Adam]
Adam was unsure of what to look for, but he took whatever seemed useful.
"I got a purse." [Adam]
"Good find. I'm almost done, how about you?" [Sin]
Adam glanced over to Sin, eyes widening by what Sin had done.
"Why are you stripping him?" [Adam]
"I'm taking his clothes." [Sin]
"..." [Adam]
"What? I'm not going to walk around in rags." [Sin]
"You could have done that to the other guards." [Adam]
Sin scoffed.
"Those guards are lower ranking. Therefore, their clothes stink worse than a rat's ass." [Sin]
Adam was baffled.
"That… is actually a valid reason." [Adam]
After looting the unconscious guards, the two continued down the hall.
"Oh. We're almost there." [Adam]
Just like the guard had said, they arrived at a crossroad.
"Hm… No guards. Right it is then." [Sin]
Taking a right, Sin was found with disappointment.
"A dead end?" [Sin]
"I guess the guard did his job." [Adam]
"...I'm going to kill him." [Sin]
Taking a step back, Sin froze.
"Wait a minute." [Sin]
Turning back towards the dead end, Sin held up the keys.
"O wisps of fate, lend me thy strength and pierce the starry fogs above. Dispel." [Sin]
A magic circle appeared around the keys, which then turned the stone wall before them into a door.
"...You really need to teach me some magic sometime." [Adam]
"Maybe if you have an aptitude for it." [Sin]
"Wait, are you telling me I don't?" [Adam]
"..." [Sin]
"Sin? Sin?!" [Adam]
