Nightshift 27: M61 - M70 Hallway

So close. So very close. The flashlight-wielding, ponytailed asshole's door was the first one in the hallway. He hadn't seen the guy's tail end on the way here, so a few more steps was all it would take.

As much as Jade disapproved of having Peony set out while he still sustained his injury, he simply didn't have the resources to actually bolt the blond's door shut. In fact, he didn't approve of the latter stepping out of his room at all, but it was a matter he would have to bear with. For now, he had other things to worry about.

Like the full body suit his Majesty was tugging on the moment he stepped in. Even in the darkness the outfit had been like a painful beacon of light, jettisoning from all directions and burned into his eyes. And, as Guy had already mentally predicted, Jade was more than happy to offer a few well-chosen words.

"I'm sure that outfit would do more to attract monsters than women." Honestly, if Peony had been wearing that the night before then it was only obvious why he'd gotten attacked in the first place.

At Guy's next question, the Colonel lifted his right arm up to show exactly where he'd kept the bat. The gesture may have been smooth, but he was well aware of the weight it added to his exposed limb. It would've done him good to summon it out of his system as soon as possible, but he ultimately chose to keep it for a little while longer.

"Shall we get going then?"

"Fabulous. It's good that you're taking care of my baby," Peony chortled to Guy. He knew it was just a bat, and he had held some of Auldrant's finest weapons in hand, what with the amazing weapon collection he'd amassed over the years, but in this place every weapon seemed to be precious. And cool.

The emperor seemed to be rather put off by Jade's statement - but only for a second, and only in that way that was purely Peony, the flippant, false frown that almost immediately melted into a smile. "Well, if you actually paid any attention to it, you'd see that it's actually very nice armor. It doesn't rip or tear as fast as cotton, and while it's not the latest in Baticul fashion it's a lot hotter than those smiley faces."

"Right. I can lead the way - if anything comes to attack us, Guy can jump in front of me and take care of it. Isn't that right!" Without waiting for confirmation of this, Peony was already out the door.
