[No color, ONLY black. Everything black. Apparently, this is why Yoo Joonghyuk appreciates him, but he does not know this. Maybe YJH isn't a good judge, though... The idea of D being in anything other than his terrible black leather is almost as strange as Augustine having found him mostly naked.

Swiftly, he follows after Augustine, and even without clothes, he never really lost the confidence in which he walked. His lips thin into a tight frown.]

I'm not immune to failure. [Unfortunately. But he's humble. He isn't perfect.] Yoo Joonghyuk offered me a room in a building him and some others fixed. They had a gathering. The guards came for a handful of us while it was happening. I had assumed it was punishment for trying to find a way into the Palace.

But it isn't. It was an order based on paranoia.

[That slight bit of humility wins an appreciative smirk from Augustine. Neither of them are perfect, honestly. Augustine nearly blew his cover when he initiatively sneaked into the Gallows. The shadows here are a bit tricker to control thanks to his limited abilities. It's been a daunting task to reach this far but he refuses to give up now.]

While such limitations are indeed dreadful, I'm glad to know I don't suffer alone.

[He mentions once they reach a series of stairs that leads down towards the Barrens. It's no secret that wanders can sneak into the Gallows from the Barrens. That's precisely what Augustine did in times past. However, the stone steps here are quite brittle and old thanks to the erosion of time. He typically tries to avoid taking this route since it's a bit treacherous. However, they're pressed for time.]

You're rather fortunate that your past crimes haven't led you to the executioner's block.

[Augustine grumbles before heading down the stairs first. It's a bit treacherous but nothing that the two of them can't handle. Just be careful not slip, D. There's plenty of overgrown moss growing on these stairs.]

Nevertheless, it seems the Hierarchy is feeling a bit paranoid since the death of their delegates during the festival.

[How could he forget about the Headless Horseman cleaving the heads of several unfortunate souls during that dreadful festival? It was the talk of the town for a while.]

[The admittance gets D to glance over at Augustine. He's not surprised so much about the suffering as he is Augustine would be frank with him. Even dhampirs can struggle with having the worst outcome to a situation. Even a "success" like him has to follow the whimsy of a coin toss.]

I knew Laurent would find trouble if he went alone.

[It hadn't been his intention necessarily to incur the wrath of the Hierarchy. Instead, he worried Laurent would be too rash (and he was).

He follows Augustine down toward the Barrens, not fazed by where they're going.] Some of them are. [He can't say if it's just one, if it's more. There has to be a method of council or roundtable for it all, not only Amun. But who would have the ability to give such an order and it be followed?

He's curious.]

They're afraid.
