As they ascended, Usan gave Liam a tense side-glance as he looked up towards the approaching plateau.
The Citadel below them grew smaller and smaller, and the sounds of bat screeches dimmed.
[I don't like this,] Usan said mentally. [I have a feeling he knew we were here all along.]
Liam's face grew a little dark.
Vampires didn't have mental energy or known methods of deduction.
Nor did they have any sort of detection abilities aside from the Magical Formations they made.
But then again, Liam didn't know the full extent of the higher ranks.
Not even the Archives helped him there.
Liam was a little fish swimming in a big pond.
Thus, Usan's feelings were probably correct, but still unconfirmed.
[At least he didn't give himself backup,] Liam responded, but it sounded like he was reassuring himself. [He easily could have, too.]
A short pause.
