Cyne crawls through the muddy ditch, rain beating on his cloak and furthering the miserable conditions he finds himself
|
|
in, attempting to evade the local guard searching for him. His previous attempts to slip into the library in plain sight
|
|
having failed, his next plan was to attempt a night infiltration, where he now finds himself ducking from alley to
|
|
alley, hiding in ditches, and the like, until he can no longer hear the guards. He must give them every sense that what
|
|
they saw was just an errant townsperson, or perhaps a figment of their imagination, before he can continue.

The guard, three of them in the immediate area, find Cyne, who pulls himself out of the muck while he is surrounded,
|
|
raising his arms slightly, in a somewhat insincere surrender. *What is my move here?* he wonders. *There's always
|
|
lying...*
|
|
|
|
"Just on my way home," Cyne somewhat awkwardly sputters, definitely not prepared with a practiced lie.

The guards are not buying it, and begin to close in.
