Snippet #1504143

Shadow's eyes opened part way and his gaze slid to each member of the group in turn as he listened to the conversation that ensued. The idea of visiting Myr's temple was not that appealing to him as he'd had more than enough to that environment to last him a lifetime, but either way the others seemed to enjoy the thought. However, Myr's behavior suggested she didn't favor the idea herself, but Shadow couldn't be certain since the little monk was so hard to read effectively.

He finished his cinnamon roll and closed his eyes again. He began to listen very closely to the surroundings, and he heard an incredibly faint sound off in the distance that he didn't like. It was something that he'd been conditioned to listen for since he was a boy, and was not something that most others would understand if they'd heard it. Linde however had been taught by Shadow to listen for the sign and had apparently heard the sound through their friends conversation as well, and she regarded him with a knowing look as they nodded to each other.

"... That will slow us down if we don't get moving soon..." He whispered to her.

She nodded her head and looked briefly in the direction of the sound they'd heard, a blank and emotionless expression on her face. Shadow's face told a similar story as the two of them continued to listen to the noises in the distance. As he continued to listen he began calculating how much time they had left, and was satisfied with the amount.
