Night 60: M-B Block Hallway

[razing_phoenix]

[From here.]For some reason, it was a lot harder to be on board with this idea of searching through the basement when Landel was the one who was sitting on his throne, wherever it was, and laughing at them as he watched them struggle through. Guy knew that it was the only real clue that they had and they couldn't back down just because of that, but

It didn't take long for Claude to show himself, and just seeing his face managed to bolster Guy's confidence. He smiled back at Claude and nodded his head in greeting. "Likewise." While he had caught signs of Claude around the institute throughout the day, they hadn't actually had the chance to sit down together. Guy had been busy checking in on his friends from Auldrant and then discussing the coliseum with Sai.

Maybe that was another reason why he was a little more anxious than usual tonight. The memories of that night were fresh in his mind after that conversation, and he couldn't help but wonder if he'd come out of all this with even more memories -- or something else -- missing. How much was he going to have to give up for the sake of getting home?

He wasn't sure if he should express any of his doubts just yet, though. He'd rather wait until they were with Anise. He needed to still gather up the courage to even bring it up, seeing how he wasn't entirely sure he should even say anything.

"Anise should be waiting for us out there. Are you ready to go?" Guy pushed off of the wall, hoping that he didn't seem overly rushed.

By now, they could probably meet up with each other blindfolded (well, not that Claude wanted to try, but the fact remained that they'd met together enough times for it to become old hat), so it didn't surprise him when Guy mentioned Anise was waiting for them.

He still couldn't get over that huge doll she'd rode last night, though. That she'd been able to control something like that still impressed him. It was just a damn shame that they hadn't had access to their powers in the caverns. They likely wouldn't ever again while they were trapped in this building. Not as long as Landel had anything to say about it, at least. Besides, whatever went wrong, he doubted the people in charge were dumb enough to make the same mistake twice.

Still, it'd probably be useful for showing that skeleton a thing or two. Then again, if he was already dead, did he even fear things like that?

Okay, no, he didn't want to think too hard on that one. Instead, he gave a decisive nod and tightened his grip on his sword. "Ready if you are."

It didn't take Claude long to respond. Guy took a glance at the blade in Claude's hand, thankful yet again that both of them were properly armed and didn't have to worry themselves over it anymore. He was pretty sure that sword had done Claude a whole lot of good against the sea serpent, for instance.

And they were going to have to put themselves into a similar amount of danger (or worse) tonight. Guy couldn't help letting out a sigh at the thought, but it didn't stop him from leading them both out into the hall.
