Day 26 Nightshift: Hallway Outside of F & M Blocks

Just a bit further now, just a bit further into the woods before the wolf would pounce on her. At least he wouldn't be wearing her grandmother's clothes this time. That ruse was always so irritating, not to mention amateur of a skilled assassin.

But wolves had never been proper assassins anyway. The steel blade was pointed and flew.

Keman shrugged. Well, that worked. "I just didn't think it would fit. And are you sure you want to WEAR it? It looks stolen. What if the person it was stolen from notices?"

But Valyn looked so happy about it that he really couldn't bring himself to bring down the mood. Keman was sure that the Elven Lord had recieved dozens of lavish gifts from his father's various underlings...and yet, he looked so excited about a too-small, cheaply-made silver ring set with a stone with next to no value.

Keman smiled. "So! What do you suggest we do, then? I'm new to this."

"It's a bit tight, and I'll take it off in the morning. I only need it for the nights, after all." Valyn shrugged. It was a snug fit, but it would give him even a small boost in his abilities. That was important.

"I don't know. I've really only ever gone out as a sort of bodyguard to others. I've never had to choose a destination myself." He glanced up and down the hallway. "We just can't go near the Sun Room."

A bodyguard, huh? Keman smiled a little at that. Valyn really was an entirely different breed from his peers.

"Well, that's a given," the dragon said with a little laugh. "But you still know this place better than I. What do people DO at night?"

"They try and find ways out, they search for supplies, they get into fights..." Valyn ran a hand over his face, thinking. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get to know the layout of the areas we aren't allowed into during the day. Or we could try to go outside - I've been outside during the day, but not at night. There's a wall around the grounds, but all walls have gates at some point. We can at least find the location of the exit, even if I doubt we can go out through it."

And should the time come when they were able to leave, it was probably best to know how to get there. They probably wouldn't be able to waste time getting lost and searching.

Keman nodded. "You're right. That might be the best way to find an exit. And I do want to get some fresh air...but I don't want to risk going near the Sun Room." He couldn't remember any doors that lead outside that weren't attached to it or to any of its adjoining rooms. "There's an upstairs, right? Maybe we ought to look around up there."

"You're right." Valyn nodded. "There is an upstairs, and I've heard people say there are rooms with useful things in there. Including a room with our things. I don't know how much truth there is to that, though." All he heard were rumors and conflicting information passed over the public notice board.

"Let's go upstairs, then."

"Our things?" Keman's eyes lit up. Maybe they'd have his horde! He could give the elf stones to Valyn, and then use the more precious gems to barter with the other patients! Suddenly, he was bouncing off the walls like a kid about to enter the biggest candy store he had ever seen.

"Well...lead the way!"

"I don't know if it's true," Valyn said, shrugging. "This is just what I've heard." He wondered what sort of things they had. He hadn't much on him when he left the Citadel, just his dagger and...

"Keman, if they do have our things, they have the beryl my father kept his reserve power in! It's what I used to have an edge over him!" That sigil stone had been powerful, and Valyn could use it as easily as his father could!

"I think the stairs are over here...."
