"It wasn't me, I promise!" Gaila held up her hands, as though this proved that it couldn't have been her. "I've been good. Really."
Suzy had grabbed a pair of pants, rather too large for her, though they stayed on well enough. Eli had dressed himself as well, in his own clothing, and stood without Frida's aid.

"She's too adorable to be lying," Kaok said insistently, and (somewhat) uncharacteristically.

"She's not lying." Emma confirmed as she dug through the pile of clothes for something to wear. After a few minutes of cursing and suppression of her fashion sense, she managed to find something that wasn't atrocious and fit her.
She still needed to find her necklace and her wedding ring.

A shadow moved, standing up and throwing a hood back to reveal Haew. "Great, more people. I hope you aren't worthless sissies."

"What, are people dropping out of the ceiling now?" Suzy asked dryly. Gaila nodded excitedly, pointing to a vent on the ceiling.
"It was pretty skinny, and really long."
"So we can't go up that way," Suzy said, eying the vent in question. Gaila shook her head.
"I don't think Remus or anyone could even fit."

Emma executed what could only be called a facepalm when Haew spoke. "Of course. Just what I wanted in a situation like this. An overgrown child with a superiority complex. However did the Powers that Be know that was what I needed?"
"They love you dearly, don't they. And I wouldn't say child. Children have more common sense and respect for their elders."
"Then what?"
"What about 'an overgrown rat which has been repeatedly beaten about the head with a pointed stick'?"
"That'll do."

Haew grinned lopsidedly. "Tell me, Oh Noble Sir, do you bleed blue? Because that is something I would love to see, since you like looking down on me. You may be my elder in age, but age means little to tempered steel." He bent down to where he had been sitting, picking up a sheathed blade, a scarlet cloak wrapped around part of it.

Remus was really only picking on Gaila and he knew that she had about as much potential to raid a Roman craft as a fly did a spiderweb. However, the sudden appearance of Haew had changed the subject. Remus put Gaila in a headlock for her previous comment regarding him and the vent.
"Did you just call me fat, you little whiskered p***y?" he asked, giving her a noogie in the process. Haew seemed to have escaped the Imperator's attention altogether.
Romulus got straight to the point. "So how did you find yourself here, whelp?" the Betrayer asked Haew.

Haew's failed attempt at sarcasm and intimidation did not merit a response.
Emma contented herself with checking on Kaok. "Let's see if we can find you some clothes." She offered her hand to the Faun, meaning to lead her through (out of nothing more than maternal instinct).

She had been sort of uncomfortable, and was trying to distract her need for modesty with her active attempts not to behead Haew. That, and she really didn't want to steal clothes that may have belonged to someone else.
She laughed. "I'm a Faun. We live most of our lives in the nude. I'll be okay until we find our things."

"I figured at first it had something to do with the grave I was robbing, a sort of trap charm, but then I found the girl over there, and I figured 'Screw it, doesn't matter.' So I waited here with the girl, hoping to find something to bleed" Haew replied cheerily.

"Agh! No, you're not fat Remus!" Gaila squealed, batting at his arms for release.
Suzy made for the door once more. "Let's go back. It doesn't look like there's anything else here, unless we want to keep digging through all this clothing."

The nobles nodded, taking the lead this time as they ventured back the other way.
They're getting worse.
The contractions? Nonsense, you're imagining it.
When your water breaks and you insist that it's nothing, I will not hesitate to laugh in your face.
I would expect nothing less.

"Very fine clothing here, the leather is hard and sturdy, and the silk is perfect" Haew remarked, grabbing a few more articles of clothing before pocketing a few rings and a bangle. "Well, shall we be off?"

Suzy nearly laughed. It was amazing how brave the nobles were now, taking the lead, now that they were not venturing into the dark. She'd see how brave they were when they weren't traveling down this same corridor.
Eli pocketed his lockpick set, wrapping a jacket around his wife to offset her uncomfortable look. They all seemed to be clothed, now, except Kaok.
