The guard nods, allowing them to pass. Mizuki narrows her eyes at Hinata's words, wondering why he had to use an alias.
"What, was I not supposed to use my real name either?" she grabs his sleeve, whispering into his ear. She peeks backwards towards the entrance. "What are you planning?"
"Nothing," Hinata states bluntly.
"Is that really your name?" Mizuki bombards him with further questions, eyes darting around as guards stand watch at each entrance of the castle. The ceiling is high and the walls are spaced apart, any little noise gets echoed off the walls. Hinata stops her in her tracks, keeping a tight grip onto her shoulder.
"It's my father's given name to me. My mother is from Sigma and she wanted me to have a Sigmane name for her family's honour. Easy enough? Now, I have some important work to do around the castle. I'll be meeting you by the fountain when you're done, yes?" Hinata explains in the lowest voice he can.
