Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

[Pebele]

The two stand firm, and there is no way for anyone to get past them without trying to push past them.

"This boy..." "...Presumes much." "Perhaps you should..." "...Try asking nicely." "The door is trapped." "And we hold the key."

Captain and Tarshana look from Kaelan to the two guards, then to each other. They seem unsure of what to do or say. "Er, could we please have our belongings back?"

The two mercenariness look away from Kaelan for a moment. "We will consider..." "...Allowing you access." "If he..." They gesture to Kaelan. "...Apologizes."

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto, seeing the intractable expression on Kaelan's face, turns to him and mutters, sotto voce,

"Friend-Kaelan, remember, the kah'naanka, or, as you would call it, the tiger, is cunning. An apology need not always show weakness..."

Kaelan

Kaelan looks to the siblings, then to Catherine, hoping she would smooth things over. He squints at the mercenary's as if sizing them up. He simply gives a slow nod at them, and slowly backs away near the middle of the group. It is easily seen that although no apology is spoken, he at least respects what the Cyrans stand for.

"I apologize for my friend's presumptions. It was a mistake of judgment on his part, and I hope you can forgive his lack of tact."
Catherine turns back to the group, then immediately turns to face the mercenaries again, "Actually, I have one other question. In the room itself, have you seen a jade statue that looks like a sphere on top of a pyramid?"

The two watch as Kaelan steps back, then they eye Catherine. "Your friend needs to learn..." "...Better manners. He's lucky..." "...That we want to help." "He could get you all..." "...Killed one day..." "...Running his mouth off."

They pause, look at each other, and then continue. "We do not remember..." "...Ever seeing anything..." "...Like that in here." "You are welcome..." "...To look." "Those three..." They motion to Kaelan, Charles and Sepoto. "May not enter."

With that, they sheath their weapons. One of them turns and inserts a key in to the door. The door swings open.

Charles chuckles, walks to a corner, and sits down. I get the feeling they do not enjoy the presence of us sneaky types.

Kaelan

Kaelan simply waits outside the room, watching the sibling mercenaries. I really wonder how tough these two are. They don't seem to like us scouts though. "Let us know what you guys find in there."

No problem. Thanks for the heads up.

Sepoto squats beside Charles, chuckling quietly,

"The Brother-Sister's did not appreciate Sepoto's attempt at falsehood it seems."

 

[Yeoman]

"Alright, let's search it top to bottom."
