Snippet #2694300

"A couple eyes are locked on us..." Sam said quietly, his voice reduced to a whisper that was just loud enough for Alexia to hear. Over the long years, Sam had acquired a sixth sense of sorts, mainly when people were watching him. However, it wasn't something that could be used at will or accurately even, but it was just a sharpened sense from his human side that 300 years of wandering in the as a nobody helped with. He sniffed the air and growled lowly "And... with magic... blood magic no less, or at least one who uses it... dangerous..."

Sam had fought many people over the years, and had gotten a smell for most of them. Blood magic wasn't difficult to sniff out given the fact it required blood to work. Sam continued speaking in a whisper that only Alexia could hear "I assume you don't want to make a scene still, but we need to move to a different area to single out the people watching us." He considered the possibility of sniffing them out, but given the sensitive nature of Alexia's task, he didn't want to put that in jeopardy. "We'll circle around the crusaders, best case scenario we lose them, worst case they follow but we should be able to find out which ones are watching."

Alexia and Sam began to make their way through the crowd at slightly hurried pace, making sure not to stand out, but going quick enough so that anyone who followed would stand out. Sam reached into a magic deck on his belt, a defense deck in case he had need for a certain spell card. Alexia would need to act as bait, but if they were still being followed, the card would give them the element of surprise they needed while being discrete. Sam started to speak again in a whisper only Alexia could hear "Well, the only way I'd get into the Z city would be me to act as your slave. Wouldn't be a far stretch, might even make the crusaders jealous. That's up to you though, not sure how it would fit into the plan you may have had there." When he said jealous, he was referring to the fact he'd 'have' a position at their goddesses side, and Sam thought Alexia might like that extra little jab.

Males were only allowed to roam free in Zenos in certain areas of the city, and even then they were required to have special collars that would track them, control them with pain, as well as supply other functions to better serve the female masters. If Sam was to assist Alexia in her business there, the only logical option was to pose as her slave. Otherwise, sneaking himself in would be a rather large amount of trouble, and getting caught in a death trap like that city wouldn't bode well for his lifespan, for whatever is left of it.
