Terrance Clemens
Terrance looked over at Nyx, she looked nervous. "Well, first thing's first, you need to relax. Aint no way we're gonna get through here unscathed if you're gonna be carrying yourself like that," he peeked around the wall that he was hugging. No guards were in sight, but that didn't mean they weren't watching. He turned back around at Nyx, he hesitated for a moment before instructing her, he wasn't sure if she;d go through with what he was about to tell her. "Okay, you need to go first.. just trust me its best," he wasn't trying to sound like a coward, in fact, he actually had reasoning behind this. If they were spotted, he'd be able to use his ability on whoever seen them, and it would be easier to do so on his way out of cover, rather than him peeking out of cover after already reaching safety. He didn't feel comfortable explaining it to Nyx. No, not yet, it was far too early to get a read on whether to trust her or not.
His eyes looked at Nyx, who was looking at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence. "Well... You know how to run right? Head for that ditch, there's a drainage pipe big enough for us to fit in somewhere along it," He pointed north of their position. No expert maneuvering, or finesse was required here. Just luck. The guard's rotations covered this area, so not being caught in the midst of their patrol could be planned had they been allotted more time, but Terrance wanted this done fast, he had faith in his plans.
"Once I say so, run for it.... and don't keep looking back like you were earlier, you'll get tripped up." He said this with a tone of cockiness, as if he were some expert and Nyx was his student. "Okayyyyy.. Go. Now." He said as he forced her forward into the open, there was no way she wouldn't run now. Once she had slid safely into the ditch, undetected, Terrance made his run for it. It was too easy. Nyx tried peering up from the ditch they were in but Terrance pulled her back down,"We're safe, don't jinx it, drainage pipe's just ahead. Keep down." He crawled on his stomach, like a soldier, and ended up getting to the pipe. He pried off the bars that were pretending to still be intact with the pipe(he had previously filed them down so that he could pull them off) and laid them quietly on the dirt ground. This time he'd go first. "Close the door on your way in," he said jokingly, referring to the metal.
The sewers were how you'd imagine them to be. Revolting and ominous. He thought the city was bad. He glanced at his watch again, they were making good time. He also needed it to direct himself, the watch contained a small compass in one of the upper quadrants of the dial. He turned in the appropriate direction, "North," he said pointing in the way he was headed. "Hope you don't mind the smell.. it only gets worse." He chuckled a bit, and slid his hands into his pockets. They only needed to walk for about 5 minutes before they would reach their destination. He was positive they were in the Northern district of town by now.
Terrance approached the ladder which led up to a manhole. He put some stress on the rusty ladder, making sure it wouldn't give out with his weight on it. He looked at Nyx, "Well, we're here." Putting his feet on the bottom rung of the ladder he started his climb up to the top. The manhole cover was heavy, he checked to make sure no one was watching, he didn't want to answer the questions they'd ask. Emerging from a sewer isn't really the norm, even for this city. Terrance waited for Nyx to reach the top, he helped her up and kicked the cover back on top of the hole, leaving a little space so he could access it again on their way out. "Alright, now you take point," he told her, examining all of the buildings, they sure were nicer than anywhere else in the city. Maybe he'd find something nice.
