And Sei followed, apparently a little worried about leaving Seung at the front - hopefully, they would not attack her, through...
So he settled for walking in last, one sheild behind to cover the rear and the other to his side, ready to move as fast as he could on intercept potential trouble, his usual protective instincts having skyrocketed due to both the presence of Seung, and the fact that Mik was injured.

Mikhail followed readily, though he was uneasy about Seung being at the front as well...but she was the only one who really knew where they were going, so he supposed there wasn't a choice. He doubted anyone would try to hurt her, at least, and that eased his mind a little.

Seung kept glancing back at the teens. She was more worried about Mik than the guards; chances were they would talk to her before attacking. As they got closer to the pair Sei knocked out with the doors, she could hear at least one of them groaning. "Careful, I think one's waking up."

At that, Sei seemed to have a very easy solution, as one hand reached for one gun, but he stopped himself.
The flash of light would be all too visible.
Damnit ! It was one risk or another, at this point...
"Let's hurry, then."

The guard waking up would be bad. Mik thought briefly about cracking him on the head so that he didn't, but found himself reluctant to resort to violence in front of Seung if he didn't have to. So, instead, he hurried along as Sei suggested.

The guard woke up more as the passed, but was still stuck under the door. Before he could manuever himself out from underneath, the trio would be long gone.
Seung motioned for the other two to hurry. She got up to the fork in the hallway and checked both sides to make sure it was clear. She spotted a servant walking away from them with a bundle in her arms; no trouble there. "Go outside," she said pointing at the door across the hall. "Then we can follow the path to the gate."

Sei nodded quickly and, now that he knew where to go, took the lead for his own and headed in the direction Seung had told him to go to, careful of his movements.

Mik waited for Seung to follow Sei, unwilling on principle to put her at the back. Then he followed, always keeping an eye out.

Seung floated down the short set of stairs down to the path. This side of the grounds was fairly deserted this time of night. The path followed the stream here, until it joined with another at a bridge up ahead. "The gate's just south of the bridge. I think there's at least one guard there," she whispered, staying safely between the pair.

One guard, then. Hm.
Given where they where headed, and with who, their intent would be all too evident, really - Sei drew both guns and approached slowly, keeping himself as hidden as he can manage - in hope to get to see the guard's location and catch him off-guard.

Following Sei's lead, Mik drew his knife just in case he might need to hit someone with it. The black, epoxy-coated blade was still sticky, since he hadn't bothered to wipe it off earlier.

The guard at the gate paced back and forth in front of it. The gate behind him was a small one, a wooden door large enough for one person with a padlocked bar across it. While the man looked alert, he wasn't expecting trouble at this tiny exit.

And yet trouble was exactly what was coming for him, it seemed. After making sure there was no one else around (it seemed far enough to be safe, at any rate) Sei shot twice, one for each gun - both still in stun mode.
....Apparently he was quite eager to go home as well.

Sei's first shot missed, but mananged to alert the guard to danger. He braced himself, brandishing his spear as he looked for where the shot came from. Unfortunately, standing in one spot made him a perfect target. The second shot hit and he fell backwards, landing slumped up against the gate.

Well, that had gone rather well, dare he think so to himself. Putting the guns away, he moved the guard off the path of the door, and focused toward the other problem.
Which was the lock.
One would have found more worthwhile to search the guard for a key... But not Sei, apparently. Instead, he positioned himself and, much like he had done with the water gate earlier, re roots all of his energy to his limbs (sending the orbs pummeling down like a small rain of glass), graps one hand at the lock and the other at the board, preps his feet against the door, and pulls with all he's got.
