"...W-we are...envoy's o-of the c-church, Jeanne. M-most...r-respected E-Everians will at least...p-put up t-the...front, of being s-subservient to the goddess...e-even if they a-arent religious..." Siglos said softly.
"...W-we need only to...c-convince them to lend i-it to us. T-that is all."

Siglos slowly breathed out, nodding in agreement. The Everian was tired...and he was scared, his arms still carrying the faintest of tremors as he had walked through the city streets.
"...Y-you guys s-should...stay outside....together. You....you a-already know how Everian's feel a-about..." He trailed off, his gaze shifting away from Jeanne.

Siglos said nothing for a moment, before taking a light, shaky breath. Gingerly...he moved a hand to his palm, gingerly running his fingers across the Stigma placed upon his flesh. It...gave him comfort, slightly...knowing that he had someone he could call upon for guidance, should he need it. Someone aside from his lover or his younger friends.
"...I'll...I'll be f-fine, Jeanne" Siglos said quietly. He took another, shaky breath, slowly nodding his head.
"...I'll...be fine..."

Siglos hesitated for a few, long moments, clearly unsure.
"........"
"A...alright Jeanne." Siglos said quietly.
"J-just...j-just s-stay behind me...p-please."

"I-I'll go in too..." Shalor murmured quietly
- 42,327
- 36,606
"...but..." Shalor murmured, he was worried, extremely so, but he also had no good excuse to go in with Jeanne and Siglos
- 42,327

"A-allright... thank you for the assurance..." Shalor murmured honestly

“.....” Siglos glanced at the pair for a moment, saying nothing. Gingerly, he took a soft breath, turning away to face the entrance.
“...S-shall we enter...Jeanne?” He asked.
“...S-shall we enter...Jeanne?” He asked.

Siglos hesitated for a moment, before slowly nodding.
“A-alright. Let's go, then.” He said softly. Gingerly moved towards the door, before opening it.
The shop was set up in a similar manner as it was outside, with glassware decorating various shelves and displays across the rather spacious interior. It was slightly cluttered, but remarkably well organized, much of its wares sorted both by object and by whatever enchantment they may have held within. The inside was decorated just enough to give the place an air of refinement, patterns carved into the very walls themselves like elaborate murals, though their meaning was unknown to the young Everian.
Slowly, he began to approach the front desk...ringing a bell to call upon the shopkeeper. The sound itself resonated with an almost unnatural clarity...letting out a gentle noise that seemed to slowly spread across the shop floor.

As Siglos rang for the shopkeep, an Everian woman did not walk up to the desk... but instead a woman of vampiric origin. Her skin was pale like snow and so was her hair, but the unique tint of her crimson eyes made it clear she originated from a bloodline of vaewolves.
She sighed, then yawned. "What do you want..."

Siglos tensed, visibly caught off-guard by the woman’s vampiric nature. He didn't remember seeing any Vaewolves when he and his father had frequented the city...at least not running such a high-society shop. He went to bow, before stopping himself, Alexia’s words ringing in his ears.
“......”
“...We a-are here to borrow a...communication orb, ma’am.” He said. He tried to keep his voice steady, tried to keep himself from trembling in front of the woman.
“...We are...envoys of the c-church, and n-need to contact the archbishop.”

Siglos nodded, gingerly stepping away from the counter.
“A-alright...thank you.” He said softly.

"...Right." The woman stepped away to the side for a moment, disappearing from sight.
...
She returned around 10 minutes later holding a moderately sized black box, placing it on the counter. She then projected some of her mana onto the box, causing the object to begin unraveling like thread. Within the fully unraveled box was a neon-glass orb, which was gently glowing within the lights of the shop.
"Latest model. We take no responsibility for breakages, and we don't do returns. Take it."

“Oh...o-ok...” Siglos hesitated, before gingerly grasping the orb within his fingers, visibly cautious.
“...T-thank you. W...we won't waste any more of y-your time.” Siglos murmured. He simply nodded at the woman, before slowly moving away from the counter.

"Wait a sec, tho. Before you go." The shopkeep said, "Something I gotta confirm."
"If you think we aren't from the church, then I have the evidence-" Jeanne tried to explain, before she was cut off.
"Not that. I know that. You smell of holy blood, so I can tell just from looking." The woman said, "Your Everian friend, though... he looks familiar. I think I've seen him around here before."

Siglos went rigid, his lithe finger gripping tightly onto the orb in his hand. He said nothing for a few moments, before beginning to walk again, his pace visibly quickened.
“I-I have a common face. You’re...m-mistaking me for someone else.” he said. His tone was blunt, yet couldn't disguise the slight quiver in his words.
“Let’s go, J-Jeanne.”
- 13,222

Siglos bit his lip, forcefully slowing his breaths to prevent himself from hyperventilating. He had reached the door, now, and it was clear he was leaving with or without Jeanne's accompaniment.
“....My name is Siglos, ma’am. And I would l-like to leave unquestioned.” The man said quietly.

"Calm down Shalor, they'll be fine" Noah tried to calm her friend down.
She think that Shalor would still thought about the the events of this morning

"...I just don't like this... and they're out..." Shalor murmured, observing them leaving, trying desperately to calm himself silently

Noah sight, before trying to find something to distract them both.
"Maybe we can do something while we wait"

As Siglos took the first few steps onto the cobblestone road, he immediately turned towards Jeanne, practically shoving the orb into her hands.
“H-hold...t-this...” The Everian murmured. His voice wavered, his breathing quick, and panicked.
- 13,222
- 22,099
Siglos said nothing, simply turning away from the young girl. Gingerly, he raised a trembling hand to his lips...activating one of his scent rings. The familiar scent of lavender once again wafted across his face, the man taking a deep...shaky breath.
"........."
"....H-he a-already k-knows..." Siglos murmured to himself. His father knew where he was, Alexia had confirmed it herself. Thinking logically...it shouldn't bring him greater harm if other people found out. He knew that. And yet...it did not stop the man's flesh from trembling, his breath from choking within his throat. He took a long moment...before slowly turning towards Jeanne, his panicked poorly disguised upon his face.
".....W-we should...t-take it...b-back to...haa...t-the i-inn..." Siglos said.
"...T-to...p-prevent...e-easedropping." He said.

"...I-it's fine....i-it's...." Siglos took a soft breath, slowly shaking his head.
"...It's fine. T-thank you...for...a-accompanying me in there..." He said softly.

"You don't have to thank me, let's just uh... let's just go." Jeanne said awkwardly, turning to Shalor and Noah. She handed the glass orb to Noah.
"Would you mind holding this? You're probably in a better state to make sure it doesn't break than I..."

Shalor immediately fell In line behind Noah, he was still cautious at best and queasy and somewhat panicky at worst, but he kept it hidden
