"No thanks, love. I think I've had enough to drink for one night. I'll just wait for you upstairs. Don't be too long," she added, grinning.
"I promise, love" he answers with his own grin as he deftly starts repopulating the racks...at speed. (^-^)
Arielle freezes as she hears bottles clinking and voices coming from the next room. She looks up at LK and mouths, "what do we do now?"
Devlyn catches the faint traces of scent as he finishes restocking the bottles. Keeping his smile to himself, he tucks the now-empty crate out of the way of foot traffic, gives the room a quick glance-over to make sure everything is ready for in the morning, then heads upstairs to their bedroom - making just enough noise to be heard downstairs, and by Allura as he approaches the door. :)
"Don't move." He mouths back. Then he rolls his eyes and focuses.
:Okay, I can't believe we forgot we could do this.: He thinks to her, mental-voice rough from disuse.
:Oh! I'd totally forgotten. We haven't used telepathy to speak in years.:
She listened to the sound of retreating footsteps.
:Do you think that he missed us? Or just decided to let us be?:
:It's Devlyn, Arielle. He could probably hear a needle fall in an earthquake. At least he didn't think we were burglars or something.:
:We need a place to go only we know about, or we'll never have more than a few moments of peace. Any ideas?:
She chewed on her lip as she racked her brains for somewhere that nobody else knew about.
:Well, there's...no, that won't work, grandpa knows where that one is....ummmm.....no, the twins followed me there once......err......:
:I've got one! Someplace I used to go to hide. Nobody goes down there, not even the twins on account of Helm being scared of the dark, and don't ever let him know I told you that. It's underneath the Eyrie. A long way underneath the Eyrie.:
:It's Devlyn, Arielle. He could probably hear a needle fall in an earthquake. At least he didn't think we were burglars or something.:
:We need a place to go only we know about, or we'll never have more than a few moments of peace. Any ideas?:
:A cocoon for the butterfly, a den for the wolf. Sounds perfect! Now we just need to get out without being noticed...:
:Well, it sounds like they're upstairs, so maybe if we just walk out quietly no one will even notice and once we're outside we can just walk over to the omniportal. The hard part will be getting to the tunnels from the Eyrie omniportal without being noticed.:
:What if we run really fast and you pretend to be angry at me? It's not exactly a rare sight to see you swinging your hammer at me: He thinks with a wink. :It's not like putting a bunch of snow on you so you'd wake up is to extreme an alarm clock...:
She stifled a giggle.
:Alright, that should work. Nobody would think that was the least bit odd, and they wouldn't be inclined to follow given the likelihood of being caught in a sudden lightning storm,: she added with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
:Then off we go! Don't trip on anything.: He thinks as he tip-toes out the door, checking to make sure the halls are clear first..

<.<
She follows carefully, almost but not quite knocking over a wine rack.
(Not to mention the fact that we took her in so she could actually do something other than rob folks blind and get into knife fights).[/ooc]
Arielle winces at the sound of tinkling glass as the wine rack settles back onto its legs and motions to LK to hurry up, hoping that they would be long gone before anyone came to investigate the noises of possible destruction.
:As graceful as a hurricane I see.:
LK does indeed hurry up, if only to avoid a whack on the head from Arielle.
Arielle and LK raced for the omniportal, quickly coming to the line which was moving quickly.
:Okay, you step through just before me. I'll pretend to chase you. You're going to want to go to the left and then the third door on the right will take you to some stairs going down. Just follow them as far as you can. We should be far enough past people by then that I can lead the way the rest of the way there.:
:We need to make it more convincing though..:
He flicks Arielle's nose and dashes into the portal.
Arielle and LK raced for the omniportal, quickly coming to the line which was moving quickly.

Anvaris hears a commotion coming from the street to his right, and people making an opening for whatever is causing it. He sidesteps into the covered doorway of a storefront as the two teenagers careen past him toward the Omniportal plaza.
"Poor guy," he says to himself as the spectacle (and the thunder) passes. ;P
