[ D has done nothing wrong, ever, in his life. Cedrik knows this. And it's especially impressive with how long a life D's had.

Honestly, putting that guard to sleep was doing him a favor. Now he's no longer making those pained whimpers thanks to the gash Cedrik carved into his torso... ]

Take-- [ Aaaand D's already on his way. ] --care.

[ There's little need for Cedrik to worry. He just has to keep reminding himself of that as he hurries to lock the cell and keep up. The further they go the more occupied cells they'll find, cells with Restless that have been there far longer than D...

...

Cedrik starts opening more doors as he goes. ]

[He’s gone…

But that’s okay because it isn’t long before the shadows of the hall spit him out once again in Cedrik’s direction, white and ghostly. Except now he is halfway crouched and prowling rather than waltzing confidently through the space.

He waits until he can get close to Cedrik and stop, voice low and a whisper.]

There’s a tunnel. But there’s something else.

Abysmals.

[ Cedrik is speaking with another Restless when D finds him again--though it's less 'speaking' and more strained attempts to get her to keep her voice down. Her words are hushed and frantic, she keeps asking if Cedrik knows her brother--at D's return her eyes bulge wide. She sees the pale, silent figure crouching in the dark, like a marble gargoyle ready to strike, and panics.

With a shriek she runs away, finally scattering like the other Restless Cedrik had been freeing. The Viera is left blinking in confusion. What got into her? ]

--oh, D.

[ D's returned! That's a relief. ]

Abysmals? [ He's heard of the creatures but has yet to confront one directly... ] We should clear the way, then. So that others can make it through safely.

Well, this isn't the first or the last time this has happened to D actually, so he doesn't really seem all that surprised. Maybe that's the more telling reaction: he treats it like this is a common occurrence.

How many people have run screaming from him? Or refused to sell him a service of any kind, especially room and board, because he's half vampire? If anything, he does not apologize for the scare. The prejudiced perception is not his fault.]

That's fine. I need my clothes first. [And, goddammit, he really would like his sword back. He's gonna get that thing first and last (next month).] Do not go without me.

[CEDRIK.]

[ Wait--it wasn't D that she fled from, was it? The man can sneak up on you but he's not frightening...

...

...maybe he's a little frightening.

But Cedrik doesn't have time to fully consider the question as all of a sudden he gets the distinct impression that D is giving him a preemptive scolding--or as close to one as D's willing to give. ]

I came here to find you, I'll not leave without you.

[ That isn't what D means and Cedrik knows it. ]
