028. in a dimly lit library , hidden amongst the books . // Lilith & Garth.
These type of grand buildings could almost be seen as sacred, with the type of emotion that they could evoke within some people. Filled with such knowledge and yet so silent, books towered over even his head as he hurried as quietly as he could between the shelves, straining his ears for any sign of possibly having been followed. These type of historical buildings were usually unofficially protected by his fathers men - as a means of preserving the city's culture and appeal, but that just meant that the chances of a fight kicking off were higher.
With a sigh, he rest against the shelf, taking a deep breath to calm down his racing heart. Maybe his pursuers had decided not to follow him into a building known to be under his father's control - though that type of luck was rare for him, a fact made clear as he heard a loud squeak of a shoe somewhere close by, followed by hushed hurried voices. Man, all this hassle over nothing.
A dagger slipped out between his fingers as he listened to the hushed voices draw closer - only for his eyes to latch onto those of a girl who stood not too far from himself, carrying books under one arm. Her lips parted as though to ask him something, but he'd quickly ran over and placed a finger over her mouth to try and silence her before she may be overheard. He really didn't wish to drag any innocents into this encounter...so what else was there to do?
"Follow me", he whispered.
