Well, it was time for some fun. Leto began putting on the finishing touches of his commoner outfit before he was leaving the castle for the night. He took a bandage, and began wrapping it around his head to cover his left eye to prevent himself from being discovered as a Graceling. Not the best time, or place for a graced person in his country. He ajusted the rag several times with increased frustration. The rag was thin enough in certain places that could allow him to see out of his left eye just barely. But he was having trouble this evening.
He finally gave up on it, and got it as good as it was going to get. He then leaped out of his bedroom window, and onto the rooftop of an adjacent building to his. He ninjaed his way out of the castle grounds unoticed like he's done so many times before. Once he was out of the castle grounds he jumped down to the ground level in an alleyway. He then walked out of the alley, and merged with the crowds of people. As he walked through the marketplace he continued to adjust the rag on his head, still not satisfied with it.
He almost bumped into several people as he walked, but he was able to weave through them rather expertly. He caught a glance at a girl who he was sure saw his mismatched eyes. He stopped, and turned around to look at her. His heart began beating rapidly, his chest felt heavy, like something was sitting on his chest. What was happening? Was he scared that she saw his eyes? He then noticed her own eyes, she was graced just like he was. His mind was in a fog when the guard yelled at her, and tried to take her.
Before he could react she was off with a couple of guards chasing her. He kneeled down, and grabbed the robe that was ripped off from the girl. He stared at the direction they ran off in, and sighed slightly. He moved the rag above his eyes, resting it on his forehead, and stood up. He rushed forward, moving through the crowd like a breeze of wind. He leaped up on the vendors, and hopped from merchant to merchant. Once he was close to the guards he jumped from the shop, and tackled the guard.
Leto quickly jumped up from the ground by the time the guard could get one knee up. Leto rushed over, and stepped off the guard's knee to gain leverage, and swiftly kicked the guard in the head, knocking him out. Leto let out a huff of a breath, and looked over at the girl he rescued with a comforting smile. From behind he could hear several more guards yelling at people to clear the way. "Sorry, I'm gonna need to barrow this." He stated as he held up her cloak. He turned around, and held the cloak before him, and rolled it up.
The first guard that rushed at him had his sword drawn, and jabbed at Leto. Leto ducked to the side, and wrapped the cloak around the edge of the sword. He spun around, and tossed the sword out of the guard's grip. He then delievered a swift kick to the guard's torso that pushed him back into a couple other guards that were coming after them, slowing them down a bit. "Come on!" He ordered as he picked the girl up off the ground. He grabbed her hand, and ran forward into the fleeing crowd. "I hope you aren't afraid of heights."
He then released her hand, and started jumping on several merchant's carts, using them as a steps to leap upon a rooftop, it was a rather easy climb that he was certain that she could pull off. He ran across the rooftop, and leaped to the next roof, which was quite a ways away. He turned back to face the girl, and gave her a nod. "Come on." He stated with a warm smile. "I'll catch you." He kneeled down, and held out his hand to catch her. The guards were soon catching up as they climbed over the carts. "You have to trust me."
