"I wouldn't call that a good time..." he shook his head, "Compare everything you did as you had your fun and multiply it a hundredfold... It's not nice..."

"Can't help myself, Big Yin," Duine responded, "Ye ever heard the story about the scorpion and the frog?"

"I know about that..." Erebus shrugged, "Besides, it's natural for Rakshashins to feel that way... I guess I've just gotten so used to it that... I could control it..."

Siglos glanced down at the palm pressed within Sylvia's grip, feeling the the gentle stream of Alexia's mana as it entered his body. In any other circumstances, such a phenomenon would be...concerning. But he trusted Alexia. This was a gift from her, in his mind, one of the several reasons he appreciated meeting her in the city. Idly, he rubbed his palm against Sylvia's, his mind turning to the streets ahead.
While the lockdown made the business a bit more constrained than it would be otherwise, numerous stalls and stores were still open, just as the bookstore had been. The scent of Everian cuisine wafted from restaurants, the soft clink of jewelry sounding out from jewelry makers. Many still kept the scholarly air one may expect from an Everian...minor nobles and other people of relative importance carrying themselves with the dignified strut of high society...while others were simply workers, trying to get by in the wealthy city.
"...Let me k-know if you'd like me to...buy anything for you, Sylvia. I...s-still have a little bit of money left..." Siglos said softly. His eyes continued to scan the surrounding buildings...eventually spotting the familiar smoke of a forge in the distance.

This distracted Siglos, the Everian only half-hearing the words of his mate as he felt the mana crackle in his palm. His ears twitched, his body tensing ever so slightly.
"...Uh....o-oh! You...you don't need to worry, It's...it's my...my uh...p-pleasure..." The man murmured absentmindedly, shifting his palm against hers.

"S-Still! You already paid so much. I don't wanna abuse your generosity-"
Sylvia's words would soon be drowned out by this new connection of mana forming within Siglos via his Stigma, a voice... a familiar voice... beginning to slowly ring within his head. It was... old, wise, and comforting all in one.
"Siglos? Siglos, do you hear me? I hope the connection isn't to broken at this distance..."

"......" Siglos froze where he stood, Sylvia feeling his hand slip away from her grip, as he quickly brought the Stigma to his face.
"V-Velen?" Siglos blurted out. He had spoken the words instead of thinking them, loud enough for Sylvia...and anyone nearby, to hear his sudden exclamation.

"Good, I seem to be getting through." Velen's voice continued to radiate within Siglos's mind, drowning out any other sound, and deafening Sylvia's most likely extremely confused questioning.
"I've been trying to contact you ever since I'd gotten your call last night, but... something had cut the connection."
- 13,392

Siglos cupped his pointed ears with both hands...a, futile effort, considering the voice was directly within his mind.
"S-something? O-oh...t-there....t-there was...woman...Charlotte. S-she...s-she did s-something to the call..." Siglos murmured. A bit agitated and confused, he took a sharp left, ducking into the alley between two shops so that he wasn't in the center of the street.

Siglos said nothing for a long moment, before slowly breathing out.
“…A…g-group of assassins…have infiltrated Aegis. T-the king is…dead, o-or…at least…missing.” The Everian said.
“…We…u-uh…found o-one of there…hideouts…erm…underneath the c-city. T-the l-leader escaped…b-but…we…d-destroyed most of their teleportation circles…”
“T-they…they uh…sent these…m-monsters after us. They…they were…unable to die…I-immortal, n-no matter how m-many times they were cut…or…or burned…” Siglos trailed off, choking a bit on his words.
“…T-the leader…he…he almost k-killed me. B-but…we…we…m-made….made it…out.” He finished.

Siglos said nothing for a long moment...taking a soft, shaky breath.
"...T-Thank you...V...Velen. I...." Siglos trailed off.
"...I'm g-grateful to you...truly. I-I'm s-sure...Jeanne and the...others will...be g-glad to leave this place..."

Noah sighed, she didn't really have much to do, so she would be bored to death, so she followed him.

"...." Siglos's eyes widened in apparent surprise. He said nothing for a moment, attempting, and failing to sort out the sudden revelation in his mind.
"...O-old comrade? Y-you...you know Alexia?" Siglos said softly.

If Velen could be seen(he could not be due to this being a telepathic communication), he would most certainly be nodding, affirming Siglos's suspicion.
"She was one of my inquisitors, many years ago... and I was surprised to find her again after she'd gone into hiding, in Aegis, mysteriously connected to you via a Stigma she never even gave to me..."
- 13,392
- 22,292
"...O-oh! She..." Siglos trailed off...his eyes lowering to the Stigma marked on his flesh.
"...She's...she's helped us...so much. Helped...me so much. I...never would h-have thought she was...w-with the church all along. F-formerly...anyway..."
- 13,392
- 22,292
Siglos chuckled softly...relaxing slightly as he grew used to Velen's voice in his mind.
"Thank you..I...appreciate that, Velen." Siglos said. He smiled for a moment...before the expression faded from his cheeks.
"...I...do have something I...s-should report to you."
- 13,392
- 22,292
"O-of course. I d-don't wish to...waste your time any further." Siglos said. He took a soft breath, slowly nodding to himself.
"...The Everian Court executed...w-what we suspect...was an innocent man yesterday. I-I'm not...sure if the...c-church has much...jurisdiction here but..." Siglos trailed off, closing his eyes.
"...The court is c-corrupted. I...I can personally..attest to that. If...i-if you can d-do anything for...Aegis, or it's people...please...do so."

"......" Velen was silent for a few moments, before letting out a sigh.
"I'd suspected that Everian royalty had been... abusing their powers, but most certainly not to this extent. Especially not in such a time of crisis. I will do what I can, when I can, Siglos."

"...T-thank you Velen. I...won't keep you any longer." He murmured.

“Oh! I…I can understand that.” Siglos said, flashing her an apologetic smile. “I'll try to give you…a warning? Or uh…that sounds a bit harsh. I'll…I’ll try to be more considerate about…touching you.” He said softly. "Y-Yeah, thanks." Sylvia said awkwardly, "I'm still not used to the uh...

"thank you!" Shalor said before immediately trying to dig in
(I love forgetting things, don't you? Lol)

"...Far away...?" Siglos murmured. He was tempted to ask what the man was referring to, but quickly shook his head, not wanting to waste the man's time as he had done in times past.
"...I...t-think I can...manage, airship travel now. T...thank you, Velen..." Siglos said, taking a soft breath.

"So... how does it taste?" Alexia asked with a crooked smile, holding her hands behind her back.
"Good. I'll talk to you soon, Siglos..." Velen said, before his voice slowly faded away...
"Si... g... o...! Siglos! Siglos!!" And was replaced by Sylvia shouting at him and shaking him in the middle of a dark alleyway, it having appeared like he'd simply froze and began murmuring to himself after moving away without warning.

"Good...!" Shalor murmured after swallowing his mouthful and digging right in for more like a Ravenous beast

Siglos jumped, the man falling back into her grip as he stared up at her.
"...S-Sylvia! I-I'm...I...I-I'm okay!" He yelped out.

"I really loved it, Alexia... but to be fair I was just a simple village boy, so it doesn't take too much to make me love something like this!" Shalor said, chuckling as he moved to get another healthy bite
