What Javos said and what Iden heard were not the same thing. The young Cainite tapped at his ear, clearly not having understood quite what the kitty had to say.

*Likely, one could could understand scream, even WITH the deafness.
Javos hurt. And when he hurt, cat was the answer. Besides, fur matted bleeding quicker than skin.
And he could see better.
And it healed his ears.
Thusly, he would lead them to the car, hide on the florboards, and direct them to the tourist sites of the twin temples in the middle of the city. Getting IN would be hard*
Its the one on the left.

Poor Javos. Still, better to be out with it than in.
Iden drove this time, wheeling them about in a good, slow fashion. His kit was already stashed, leaving Will to hide his own gear in the jeep in his own fashion.
Javos was navigator, leaving them to be directed slowly to the old temples. Pulling around to the carpark, Iden got out, straightened out his shirt, and cast a glance in the direction of their goal.
Shall we?
And so he began to saunter off to the massive edifice.

Following the cat back to the jeep, William hopped into the drivers seat and stashed his weapons in the back before driving off with Javos directing him. After a few minutes drive of listening to Javos' directions and trying to get the ringing out of his ears, Will pulled up outside of the temple pointed out.
"Well, Javos, your friends so lead the way."

*Not caring WHO drove, Javos directed, speaking as clearly as usual despite his look.
when they got there, he remained in the car as they got out*
I will make my own way in. How you two will manage, I do not know. The gates will be locked, there are security cameras and patrols. This is a heritage site. I recommnd earth meld, but be careful.
Alyna will be the room at the very top, behdin the facade. I will meet you there.
*silent as a ghost, he slunk out of the vehicle, under it into shadow, and vanished*

Will?
The insinuation was plain and simple. Will could Earth Meld, Iden could not.

Sighing and grabbing hold of Iden, Will used Earth meld to bring them into the temple; navigating through the stone walls Will would bring them in through the floor of the room in front of Alyna and her entourage.
"You know Iden, you would be kinda helpless without me at times."

*Into Alyna;s room would be impossible. It was at the top of the temple. If he tried to emerge under her location, hard to pinpoint as he didnt know the layout, he;d end up in a burial chamber deep below the right point.
The best bet was to emerge at the bottom of the central staircase up the outside, and sneak up it. Javos would be waiting at the top, and indicate the open low gap into a hidden room behind the enclosed alter*

Standing before the staircase corrected, William would begin to slink up the staircase towards the room that Javos had specified; meeting the large jungle cat at the top.
"Well we're here of fearless leader, where to now?"

Iden moved with a reasonable degree of stealth, though it was clear he was more keen to be up and done with the climbing than he was to be certain not to be noticed. Regardless, by the time they reached the altar and the chamber beyond...it really wouldn't matter much.
So Iden entered with little apprehension and looked about, questioning what would soon transpire.

*As stated, Javos was waiting, and again pointed to the gap they were to go through.
Seeing as the other two werent being fast on the uptake, he slunk through ahead of them, and left them to either follow or not at their own choice.
His job as protector was done. Now, he just wanted to see his wife. Sliding through, he found Alyna as expected, tending to Aerik who had a wound in his thigh, no doubt caused the same was as the one on Javos's back. Two other cats were sat by the entrance, and rose to rub along Javos;s sides in greeting as he came in, and went ot Alyna, rubbing his cheeks on her.
For her part, she dipped her hand to his head, and no words were needed. No one spoke until such time as the two vampires may or may not enter.*
It's been a while Iden. I guess I should thank you... we were expecting to go up with the explosion, but at least know we'd wounded the git.
Thanks for getting us out. And for not interfering.

Iden nodded as the thanks were offered.
It was your op. Your call.
That was about all there was to say...Iden's mission had been to reunite Javos with his wife. Now that they were together, he found he was stood with little to say.

Following Javos up to the hole, Will would look at it for a moment before taking the easier route; shifting to form of ghost, Will would walk into the wall and through into the next room. Looking about he saw both Javos and his wife getting reacquainted with each other; Alyna's guards surrounding the both of them.
Stepping away from the tunnel as Iden crawled through, Will would offer the man a hand up once he was through and bale to stand.

Thats a change since last I saw you... and a welcome one.
I wonder if you have any idea how hard walking away was, that day?
About as hard as finding out you hadnt come home...
Im sorry my love. I didnt mean to worry you... but..
..you had no choice. And this was your purpose. I understand.
*Smiling, Alyna ruffled Javos ears*
Really, I should be skinning you where you stand, DeSeer, for the pain she went through...
...and you'd regret it, Aerik. Because after Iden was done tearing you a new one, I'd hurt you too.
*glaring Aerik down, Alyna then looked back to Iden*
Not gonna ask what we did to the wyrm?

Go ahead and try it.
Iden's gaze had fallen upon Aerik. It was cold, frozen with a hardened heart. Were it another life, another time, he would have challenged the cat then and there.
Yet...
He turned his gaze slowly back to Alyna.
It looked like you trapped him in a host. Impressive, but not unheard of.
