But know the blade is something that isn’t something to wield for yourself. The blade is something used to protect the people, not to point towards others as a weapon."[/color][/i] Chieko couldn't help but to feel somewhat excited. As much as she had questions about the way Maria operated and believe the sword should be used, she couldn't argue that at least she looked the part. The sword was kinda pretty, and it seemed to be a good strong one. A very stereotypical knight weapon, and one she would very much like to have in her hands with as soon as possible. Maria went on to explain exactly what the Orc had informed them of. Magic, Academics, the arts. While she had no real interest in something as frivolous as art, the other two were something she was very much inclined towards. She took a look around the area, once again taking note of the books. She would like to get reading them as soon as possible, they were certainly filled with information about this land, and she wanted to get started immediately. That said, the Tea Maria was offering probably was a good idea. She was tired, and maybe a break would be good...and she doubted they had any soda here. ...it was then, Chieko realized, that for a shut-in otaku gamer, she had just lost one of her most precious items. Junk food. She practically lived on the stuff along, with an ungodly amount of caffeine. As much as she tried to get her little sister to eat healthily, she admittedly did [i]not[/i]. A look of pure dread replaced the normally neutral expression she wore, body slumping in the chair and eyes staring off into the distance as if there was no more reason to live. There was a very low chance a world such as this would ever have such items. Granted, 'junk food' might be somewhat easy to come by, but caffeine? There was no hope left in this cruel world. Chieko quickly righted herself, however, clearing her throat quietly in a bit of embarrassment hoping no one saw that little episode. She suddenly felt a lot more drained, now though...maybe Tea would be good, though. [color=Chocolate]"Tea sounds good."[/color] Chieko replied to the Knight. That said, she wasn't one to not multitask whens he was able. Despite her sudden weariness at a possible world-ending revelation, she wanted to get started sooner rather than later. [color=Chocolate]"Uhm...how would someone start learning to read?"[/color] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/OhXLEXy.png[/img][/center] [@Heckno12] [@Liferusher] Once inside, Tsuiho did the first thing any good assassin or thief did. She moved somewhere she wouldn't be out int the opened, and listened. Her ears swiveled back and forth, listening for any sounds that might indicate someone approaching and taking a quick look around for any immediate threats. She could hear a few servants moving about, but with skillful timing and swift, silent steps, she could move past them. More importantly...she could hear soft music coming from a piano? Was that her target? Possible. She needed to get to the lower floor. Her eyes narrowed, poking her head around a doorway. ...a servant was in the other room. Looked like he was cleaning or something. Whatever it was, Tsu didn't care. That was the quickest route she had chosen, and at the moment, he was in her way. Granted, she shouldn't leave [i]too[/i] many bodies. That'd defeat the whole purpose of framing someone else...couldn't make a mess here, either. If someone stumbled...well. She'd have more opportunities to have a bit more fun later. For now though, the noble was her target. She moved swiftly in the other direction, finding another doorway and a small staircase leading to the first floor. She had to question where her 'partner' was, but that was irrelevant. She'd do her part, and if he got caught, then that was on him. she descended the stairs swiftly, following the piano music making sure to avoid any of the servants, having to hide or take another route in order to not be seen. It irked her that she couldn't easily kill them without raising suspicion, but as soon as he was dead...well, she'd get out, and she'd get more than a few of them in the process. Eventually, she found her way to the room with the Piano, standing near the door and listening to see if anyone was inside other than her target.
