After doing a few exercises, Serilliyus sleeps..
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

Bean Bandit

Wraith wore a bemused expression, and glanced down the passage the way he had come...and decided that exploring the area until he came upon an archive of some sort seemed like a good way to pass the time, and promptly turned to the right, and slowly made his way further down the passage.

The passageway went on for a little ways, wide windows letting in dapples of sunlight through the tree canopies outside.

About a hundred feet from the side hallway, Wraith came to an intersection. A corridor approximately the same size as the one he was currently traveling through ran to his right and left. At the corners of the intersection were large basalt carvings of winged demons, bony plates and horns protruding from thier rock hide and their ruby eyes glowing in such a way they looked almost alive, the batlike wings about to unfurl to take flight...

Below eacj gargoyle was an armored draconian soldier, the one forward and to Wraith's right the only one apparently female amongst them. Armed with long spears and tachi, they calmly waited for Wraith to take some action.

Bean Bandit

Wraith stopped his approach well clear of them and eyed the guards. They seemed alert, and he wouldn't chance having them misunderstand his intentions.

"Excuse me." He inquired politely. "I'm new to the building and looking for a library or an archive of sorts. Do any of you know where one could be found?"

Wraith's instincts kicked in as soon as both of his opponent's hands were pinned.  

He was moving almost before his mind had caught up with Sefeya's gambit, diving in close, past the pinned arms, and twisting himself and the kodachi in a blurring arc, contining to turn, adding all the force he could muster...

Wraith's kodachi ground into the exo-skeleton of the insectoid creature's neck, a grinding noise emnating from where the blade was quickly sliding through the armor. A moment later, the blade caught, pulling Wraith around in a tighter arc...

The moment Wraith felt the blade catch, he pulled harder into the arc, bringing his other arm into it, winding up and slamming his fist in the mune of the blade, grimacing as his knuckles struck the metal...

Wraith heard a loud snap as his fist struck the blade, chitinous armor buckling beneath the pressure. The blade continued inward, cutting almosthalfway through neck of the creature before it's force was stopped by plates of it's neck and the tough windpipe.

As it went limp, Sefeya sighed and pulled her blade away. She ignored the gurggling noise emnating from the thing's neck as its oxygen slowly seeped away through the blackish-blue internal fluids that were pouring out of the wound.

Bean Bandit

Wraith pulled his blade from the neck of the creature, snapping his wrist to allow the fluids to sluice off the metal.

His vision resturned to normal, no longer 'highlighting' the enemy. He grimaced in pain and shook his sore hand.

"Sefeya-dono? What was that all about?"

Asrana

Sefeya stuck one of her boots beneath the creature's shoulder, turning it over. "Dunno...I have so many people or things that want me dead, this ccould be any one of a number of people, and the minion of any one of a larger number..."

Wraith blinked. "It seems pretty distinctive...wouldn't you remember something like this?" he asked, bending down to prod the corpse with his blade.

Asrana

Sefeya shook her head. "I haven't encountered this thing before. Similar creatures are used by some mages for soldiers and spies...but they're distinctively different from this."

A moment's pause later, and a group of guards made it to the corridor. Sefeya started barking orders in Draconian, and some of the guards began dragging the body away while the remaining ducked into Serilliyus' room, their boot heels clicking on the polished marble of floors.

Turning to Wraith, Sefeya brushed a lock of blond hair behind her ear. "Wraith...if you would wait in your room, I'll be there in a bit. We have to do a few things with the traps that you aren't supposed to see."

Wraith blinked at Sefay for a moment, and nodded, turning toward his room and opening the door, slipping inside without another word...

Sefeya waited until Wraith's door had closed, and walked down to the doorway at the very end of the hallway. She slid her boots slightly over the floor to keep them from clicking within earshot of her employee, her careful steps taking her to where the basalt arch of the last doorway jutted slightly beyond the marble plated walls. Removing a stiff piece of wire about five inches long from the silver embroidered hem of her cloak, she ran her finger down the width of stone jutting out until she found a pinhole, and slipped the wire in. A nearly inaudible click echoed, and one of the marble floor stones a foot behind her popped up, revealing several dials within a sunken chamber. Twisting three of them, she closed the trapdoor and removed the wire from its place. "That takes care of that..." she murmured, walking normally over to Wraith's door and knocking on the dark wood.

Wraith opened the door immediately, smirking. "Finished?"
