[the guards are close enough to notice you at any moment now, but... they pass you, without batting an eye, walking down the darkness of the other way.

Castling is looking up at Miles with wide eyes]

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ PHEW.

Still keeping... silent until they're far enough away from them, his grip around the weapon in his hand loosening a little bit. ]

Re: GUILD

[thexfactor]

[ waits until they're gone before releasing their minds. He exhales shakily ]

I didn't think that would work. Amazing.

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ Let's out the breath he was holding in a pretty big sigh of relief. ]

That was close--! Thanks, Miles!

Re: GUILD

[thexfactor]

You're welcome.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

What happened?

Re: GUILD

[thexfactor]

I removed our presence from their minds.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

[...that gets a frown...]

From their minds...?

Re: GUILD

[thexfactor]

Yes.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

[keeps a little closer to Rook at that, giving you a slightly wary look, though it's less afraid and more... confused]

Re: GUILD

[thexfactor]

[ . . . ah ]

[ he doesn't say anything to that ]

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ Rook looks a little uneasy about this line of conversation, too. MINDSTUFF ALWAYS HITS CLOSE TO HOME. But he knows what Miles does and just did there wasn't close to the same as what ... the shit his sister's Guild does to people. At least from what he's learned about Miles since he trusts him. So he looks down at Lucciola. ]

I don't think it's the same thing you're thinking of.

Re: GUILD

[thexfactor]

Rook, it's fine. It doesn't matter.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

Ah...!

[how do you know what I'm thinking about?]

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ Because of that look you gave him. :l

Giving Lucciola's hand a gentle squeeze. ]

It's nothing to worry about here, so it's okay. Let's keep going.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

How do you know what I am thinking of?

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ Oh my god really.

... still, it's kind of cute. ]

I don't. But sometimes it's possible to get an idea based on somebody's face or how they move. So I guessed!

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

[shakes his head]

What is your name?

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ God part of him doesn't want to FREAK TINY LUCCIOLA OUT ... but balanced against lying in Lucciola's heart ... yeah that kind of tips the scales because lying in here seems worse, especially considering Lucciola's trust issues and that Rook himself pushes for BEING HONEST ABOUT THINGS. ]

My name? ... it's Dio. But you can call me Rook like Miles just did, too.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

Dio?

[he turns, taking a better look at you?]

...L... Lord Dio?

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ Welp we can try this in here, too. But that question gets a small smile and a YES HELLO wave. ]

Just Dio is fine, for me!

... but, we're here to help you. That's why I'm here like this.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

[this is WEIRD. and I thought you were weird already too]

I... I cannot call you that, Lord Dio—

Re: GUILD

[thexfactor]

Rook, take it slow. He won't be able to manage that much so quickly.

Re: GUILD

[unguilded]

[ Omfg why are all of the tiny Lucciolas JUDGING ME!!!!!!!! ]

Gives Miles a small, assuring nod. Even though if there's something they need to do in here, the tiny might be able to help. But first thing's first. ]

Then, it's okay. We don't mean to intrude if you weren't expecting us-- or didn't want us here.

Re: GUILD

[lucciola]

[quickly shakes his head]

You are helping. You are not intruding.

[well you sorta were BUT LORD DIO]
