In which Kidd decides to carry out the plans Nash made, but Cray catches him, and the cat's out of the bag-!
Kidd: *creeping through the hallways, he reaches Cray's door and pulls out a paperclip. Picking locks makes him feel sick to his stomach, but there's a lot at stake with this assignment, and he's not willing to risk the castle just for a little nausea.*
Cray: *is lying on his bed, lightly sleeping, he doesn't hear Kidd picking the lock*
Kidd: *the lock is picked! With utmost care and silence, Kidd pushes the door open and slips in, his eyes adjusting to the dark. Where would Cray hide Sindarian texts?*
Cray: *he opens one eye, seeing kidd, he pretends to keep sleeping and closes it again*
Kidd: *steps forward, but the floorboard creaks! He freezes. Silence. Exhale. Continue. Under the bed? He kneels on his knees and sticks his hand under the bed blindly, wishing he had a lamp*
Cray: *Acting quickly he reaches down and Grabs Kidd by the Collar, standing up and lifting him off his feet as He's much taller.* Did you know it's ILLEGAL to break an entry?
Kidd: sagkjsagkljsjsagklj *gapes and stares at Cray wide-eyed, dangling several inches off the floor*
Cray: *drops Kidd* Get out. *Glares*
Kidd: *falls on his butt and sputters something about a mystery, innocence, and Colton*
Cray: *keeps glaring* That gives you no excuse to break into my room...
Kidd: I-I--I had no other way!! Queen and Rekion watch you like a hawk, and I can never get you alone to talk with you!!!
Cray: You coulda stolled up to me and ASKED if you needed soemthing! Doesn't matter who's with me!
Kidd: B-but....*crumples inside* It's confidential, and other people can spread news.
Cray: Then you could have KNOCKED at least...
Kidd: ...*yeah, he could have done that. ._.* ....
Cray: *sits back down* The hell do you want, anyway?
[The Sindar Books are on his Bedside table, Kidd could swipe them and run if he wanted to be 'tricky' xD]
(But Kidd doesn't even know what they look like :D; )
Kidd: I was sent to get something from you. *raises an eyebrow and sits indian-style*
Cray: Get, or steal? I vote the latter considering you broke into my room.
Kidd: I was told to steal it. *looks away and scoffs* It's not like I steal on a regular basis...or ever, for that matter.
Cray: Doesn't matter if you were told to, stealing is a crime. I thought you solved crimes, not commit them.
Kidd: I do!! *pained* I wasn't really going to steal them; just borrow them and leave a note!!
Cray: Why didn't you just ask me?
Kidd: *looks down at his hands in his lap* ...I figured it'd raise too many questions. Questions we don't want people asking right now.
Cray: Well that's too bad... No one would let you "Borrow" something if you dont tell them why you want it.
Kidd: *looks up, his face set in a firm and grim frown* I was hired to steal your Sindarian texts to lure Colton out.
Cray: Hmn... 'cause he tried to steal them before, I assume.... *picks up two books off his bedside table* Here, don't damage them and bring them back. Now beat it.
Kidd: *blinks* .................what?
Cray: Take 'em... Just don't break into my room again or I'll punch your face in next time.
Kidd: ......*feels genuinely guilty* ...How can you just give them to me like that? I mean, these things are really important to you!
Cray: *shrugs* As long as Colton doesn't actually get them, I don't mind. I trust you won't damage or loose them...
Kidd: *stands up suddenly and takes his hat off in a singular, sweeping motion, then nods* I won't damage what little trust you have in me.
Cray: Good. I hope this half-baked plot of yours works...
Kidd: *wry half-grin* It's not my plan. It's someone else's. Which is why it's not very good.
Cray: Nash's I take it?
Kidd: *grin*
Cray: Thought so...
Kidd: *shrugs* We're working together. I need to let him have his way sometimes or else he'll get cranky~
Cray: Oh well. Good luck anyway, even though I dont think your plan is going to work...
Kidd: *rolls his eyes* Thanks, Mr. Optimistic. Got any suggestions then if we're so doomed?
Cray: Just what do you plan to discover by luring him with books he cant even read?
Kidd: Nash thinks it'll show his "true character" and get him to confess. >_>
Cray: *bursts out laughing*
Kidd: *feels bad again* ~__~
Cray: That has to be the biggest load of Bollocks I've ever heard.
Cray: You want to see his 'true character' then place yourself in a scene where he is his true self.
Kidd: ....What sort of scene?
Cray: How about dressing up as a Kooluk Soldier under his service, and going on board his ship? Im sure he hides nothing on his own ground.
Kidd: >__> You think he wouldn't notice me? I'm not exactly a tall and muscular Kooluk soldier.
Cray: Not you, Nash.
Kidd: ........Heh heh. Heh heh heh.
Cray: Infiltrating is difficult though...
Cray: I'm no good at it, as Rekion will surely have mentioned...
Kidd: *no, Rekion had not mentioned this to him* Yeah, well, even if Nash did manage to infiltrate and make it back with valid info...
Kidd: Who would listen to him? He just keeps digging himself deeper into a hole with this womanizing crap.
Cray: Then ask someone else to infiltrate.
Kidd: I really don't want to involve more people than necessary, and asking someone to put themselves in danger...no, that's pretty low.
Cray: Rekion would help out, she's a professional infiltritor and spy.
Kidd: Are you nuts?! *angry gesture* She just died, you idiot! And you're going to send her back to her killer?!
Cray: Knowing her, she'd probably wind up doing something like that, even if you DIDN'T ask her... She doesn't let the fact she almost died stop her.
Kidd: Maybe not, but that's going to make a lot of people angry. Mathiu, for one. If Rekion just runs back at Colton and gets killed again, I think it would break him apart.
Cray: She was caught unaware when she was 'killed'. She'd go prepared. Whatever though, you don't need to ask her. Besides, I think she's doing osmething just now anyway...
Kidd: So what do you suggest I do? Should I just abandon this plan, take up a new plan, or what?
Cray: Try that plan of Nash's, if it fails then try soemthing else.
Kidd: But if it's pointless, what's the point? I mean, I could have been killed if Rekion was in here and pounced me or something. *sweats, since this just occurred to him now*
Cray: Killed? Naah, battered somethin' nasty is more like it.
Kidd: That's basically the equivalent to death for me. *flat look*
Cray: Well, you shoulda thought it out more carefully, huh?
Kidd: .... Don't remind me. u___u
Cray: *yawns* Anyway, I'm going back to sleep. So beat it.
Kidd: R-right. I'll just....leave these here.
Cray: You're not going through with that plan, then?
Kidd: Why should I? If it's a waste of time, I'd just be endangering you and your texts.
Cray: Well you never know, it might work... *shrugs* whatever though, it's up to you.
Kidd: No, I won't put people in any more danger than they are already in. Like you said, I'm supposed to stop criminals, not be one.
Cray: *nods* Alright then...
