"It has antlers." He pointed out. "It's not a normal rabbit."

"Alright, it's a fucked up Altirian rabbit. It's still not going to say anything."
The rabbit bounced then, leaping higher than he would have expected a rabbit to be able to, and landed in Giovanni's reflexive hold. There it settled down, flopping limply over his hands.

"Absolutely not," he tossed it lightly back to the ground, then looked to Ven. "Let's head out."

The rabbit thumped the ground angrily, hopping to keep pace with him as he strode out. Venenzio sighed, wondering what his life had become, as he followed after them.

Roo paced upon her balcony, lips pressed together. She couldn't even cross her arms because one was in a cast. Outside her door was a guard, and she hadn't been let out of the house in the last three days. Had Gio gotten the letter or had it been intercepted? They were on a time crunch, if her numbers were right. Forget the artifacts and the Conjunction; more dire matters had found their way home, and if she couldn't get out of here, she couldn't do anything to help

Giovanni and Venenzio had reached the bottom of the balcony, and now exchanged glances. "Was your plan to hide nearby?" He said in a quiet voice so as not to be detected. It had taken guile just to get here, the last thing they needed was guards on their backs now.

A white crow, as Roo had indicated, fluttered its wings on the balcony and fixed its eyes on them. Ven had taken stock of it but the people of Altair weren't druids; the crow was a crow, nothing more. Unfortunately, the area around them didn't provide as much cover as he'd hoped for. He'd have to make do with a tree and hope the guards didn't look up and the Lumanliscs didn't look down. "Keep her off the balcony and I'll be fine. If you're not out in fifteen minutes, I'm coming in."

"Fifteen's all I get, eh?" He looked up at the crow. "Did she really mean for me to scale the wall?"

"She's the size of a mouse. If you need more than fifteen minutes to take her out, I'll make sure everyone knows about their one-tap wonder." was all Venenzio said.

"We're here for information, Ven," he reminded his partner. "She's our best in so far."

"Then hopefully this isn't a trap."
