Snippet #2643138

Forth

He watched King approach the front of the library. The painted eye on the wall followed him, looking on as he stood at the entrance. Forth always blinked rather slowly as every time he did he could see from the eyes he set. At this time he had an eye on the front of the library, watching those who come in, and one out by the backdoor to watch for possible attackers. So far the only thing to have gone through the back alley was a rat which promptly scurried past on it's way to somewhere else.

As for the front entrance eye it could see King clearly. It was evident that King was quite pensive, seemingly reluctant to enter the library if only but a moment. Forth's face was obscured by the book he was holding, an old history book titled 'The Zhou Dynasty'. Opening his left eye which he had on King he lowered his book and looked over to his comrade. Seems I don't need to wonder where he is any more.


He rose from the table, putting a bookmark in the pages and placing the book in his suitcase. With a soft click his suitcase was shut and he lifted it off the table, taking it with him as he went to greet him.

"Good to see you've come." His tone was neutral, his expression like stone as always. "You seem to have a lot on your mind."

He looked around. The library wasn't packed but it wasn't necessarily empty. Speaking about their work around all these people seemed like a poor idea, the kind of idea that draws attention. He much preferred to be the one observing rather than be observed himself. Anything they needed to say to each other could be better said with less ears around to hear them.

"I'm done here for now. Care to talk while I head back to the HQ? I have some business there." With the offer provided he began on his way out of the library to head on down to the Magician Alliance's outpost in this corner of the world.
