Snippet #1280617

Matts fists clenched tighter. He HAD made a clean escape... well... he had made it to the next town, at least. Still, Matt considered it a feat in itself that he had made it out of Teisei in the first place. Shadow had it a little off... but there was no point in telling him that. Matt instead just glanced around, trying to think of what to do. They thought he was weak... maybe he was, but not as weak as they said. Matt heard two workers loading barrels into a cart. He heard one of them say something about oil... Matt's gaze shifted to the sword at his hip. Slowly he drew the dagger out of the handle, examining the black blade. Hejumped down onthe ground, and took the blade, scratching it on the brick next to him. A nice spark mad Matt smirk. He could use an explosion to get away... but then he would get nothing out of this meeting.
Matt's eyes widened as he had an idea. Crazy... could get him killed... but if it didnt kill him...
Matt put the dagger back in the sword, then stared at Shadow, wondering what to say. But even if he knew what to say, he couldnt at the moment, at Kain was whispering to Shadow. Matt patintly waited till they were done.
The glint in his eyes had returned.
