“I am unaware of how Alessio was handcuffed to me. I don’t enjoy it any more than he does.” Sir Scary said in a low, tense voice. He did not like talking to strangers, duly noted. Of course, Alessio had yet to find something Sir Scary did like but that’s just detail. “Arsene arranged a hotel room and neither of us are going to get a better opportunity to rest.”

There was a bit of a pause and Sir Scary added with something of an strained attempt at civility. “Please let us pass.”

He was getting tenser. And Alessio would be caught in whatever crossfire ensued if he snapped. So. that was great.

“I’m sure there’s a way to get them off.” Leana said, more gently.

Well, we’ve tried picking the lock, dislocating my thumb, annihilating the steel, but sure…I’m sure there’s a way to get them off…

It was nice of her to say that – wholly inaccurate but nice.

“What is your name?” She asked Sir Scary, moving out of the way a little.

No yeah, I’d like to know that too. Alessio thought, glancing at his would-be assassin.

“What country are you from? Do you…know what country we’re in?” Would be nice if Sir Scary knew where they were but Alessio doubted that…

He blinked a couple times, trying to focus he couldn’t figure out why it was so hard to focus right now. Well, he felt a little numb, it was possible he was dissociating. Sir Scary was saying something but Alessio was used to the sound of his voice now and he didn’t sound upset so it felt like white noise.

“…We were all on a ferry boat, before the location changed twice, bringing us here.” Huh? Wait, pay attention! Haha, yeah they were both going to gloss over the whole attempted assassination thing. And he was beginning to dissociate to avoid having to address the fact that he was really sleepy.

Sir Scary tensed slightly in the middle of the conversation which was enough to make Alessio hyper alert. For all of ten seconds he really was sleepy and that was making him even more stressed because he knew his senses were dulled and he couldn’t fix that.
