[She stares at him for a moment, the approaching footsteps getting louder in her ears, and then seemingly makes her decision, giving him a nod. That's not the most encouraging she's ever heard him, but it's more than enough for her right now, furious on his behalf as she is.]
Okay. Stay there. Act like you don't see me.
[She pads her way over behind the door, her posture transforming to something much more battle-ready as her steps shift from normal to ninja-silent. She reaches into the hidden pocket of her sash to pull out a knife. They didn't even bother searching her properly before they let her in. Sloppy.
The door creaks open, to reveal someone clad in a well-tailored suit. She blinks, clearly not having expected to find the Aegis seemingly alone when he'd just begged off to have time to get to know his new driver. "Where's your d--" she starts as her eyes shift around the room, only to be cut off by a knife to her throat and a surprisingly iron-tight grip on her arm.]
Don't scream. [Sheena advises her, gaze sharp. The woman swallows against the knife, eyes wide but not resisting.] What's the quickest route out of the castle grounds from here?
[The woman laughs, humorless, even unable to see her assailant's face as she currently is. "You expect me to help you steal government property? You're awfully brazen for a--"
She doesn't finish the thought, or any other, as Sheena's whole face goes dark with rage and the knife cuts deep into the woman's throat. She gurgles, choking on blood, far too loud for Sheena's liking - shit, shit, people are definitely going to hear this if anyone else is nearby, can Zelos tell if there is? - as she dies, bright blood spraying from arteries as she goes down. Sheena grunts, pulls the knife free so she can use both hands to catch the corpse and pull it to rest out of sight where she'd been hiding. It won't do anything for the bloodstain, but if anyone else comes in here they're fucked anyway. She wipes the knife off on that fancy suit, readjusts her grip on it as she straightens to look at Zelos.]
Okay, let's go. Just-- stay close to me, and be ready to run if anyone sees us.
[What she's seen so far, and the bits of floorplan she'd managed to find, had looked enough like the Meltokio Castle she knew that she's pretty sure she can find a way out. Probably. If she has to kill a few more, she can do that.]
SHEENA FUJIBAYASHI DOES A MURDER I GUESS!!
