Night 44: Sun Room

It looked like they were the first ones in the Sun Room this night. There weren't any monsters in plain sight, which was a good sign.

Or was it? Getting held up by a monster actually sounded kind of nice, for once. If it was strong enough, it could keep Sync busy - maybe even enough to derail his plans. Of course, it would also put their lives in danger, but they were in tons of danger anyway. Whoever said "better the devil you know than the devil you don't" obviously didn't know Sync the Tempest.

So even though Anise walked into the Sun Room with soft, cautious steps like she usually would, the girl inwardly found herself praying for someone or something to intercept them.

Chasing the white rabbit... What was up with the Alice in Wonderland references? Claude wondered if whoever was up there had some idea of what their intentions were. It almost sounded like it, and yet he wasn't sure how much stock he could place in weird, roundabout riddles. Too bad this place was full of them.

Either way, this was definitely getting creepy. Unlike the last person they'd run into in the sun room, though, it didn't look like he was going to strike out at them just yet. Claude personally didn't want to test the boy's patience -- especially not with the way he was glowing and giggling like that. Guy and Dias were right. The longer they hung around in here, the more danger they were in. And if they got caught in a fight with whoever (or whatever) was watching over the sun room, then tonight's mission would likely be a complete and utter failure.

Claude wasn't willing to let Sync win. He'd dragged other people into this mess, and that was unforgivable as far as Claude was concerned. They needed to get out of here.

It looked like his friends had the same idea. His grip tightening on his sword, Claude darted forward to match his rival's pace.

It was true that encountering someone this young was pretty rare for a place like Landel's. There were a lot of teenagers around, but Guy didn't see too many who were in their pre-teens, which was what he was guessing the age of the boy up on the railings was around.

He definitely wouldn't want to fight someone that young when they were acting against their will, and so he was glad that the boy seemed more interested in speaking nonsense than getting into a fight. Maybe he wanted to scare them rather than actually hurt them.

Not that Guy was particularly scared, but that was also because he was focused on the God-General they were tailing. Both Dias and Claude wasted little time in speeding off toward the cafeteria, and it wasn't hard for Guy to keep up with them, even with his chest wound.

He let out a mental sigh of relief when all three of them reached the door and passed through it. For once they'd been lucky.
