Ark looked up from having a knife to his neck.

"So....no slitty slitty?"

Blyr was laughing inside, but the inward feeling didn't show through to his exterior. I have my suspicions, but...

He started to speak, keeping a serious tone. "I have my doubts like you, Arc, but if Ripel says he's clean, then it's good enough for me."

Arc got off and helped Dezil up. "Sorry man."

Dezil coughed and said, "*cough* No problem, perfectly understandable to see your enemy and react like that." Then he got back up and said, "first off, Ciaran will know his plot didn't work and that you survived. Hopefully, my ploy worked, and he thinks I'm dead however, which may be your ace in the hole. Regardless, I can only do so much, and my Anti-Anti-Magic Field device isn't ready yet, so we need to keep moving for now at least. Anyway, I'm gald your willing to trust me, and prmise I won't let you all down or betray you."

"Trust you? Who said anything abuot trusting you? We were just going to use you then toss your dead corpse into an alley."

He looked around and said, "Oh...so that isn't the plan."

Dezil raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmph, maybe I should have gone solo. Nonetheless, I am here now, and don't plan on getting stabbed in the back and left in an alley, and if you want access to my mechanical equipment, you might want to reconsider that. I hope that our relationship turns out to be a good one for us, and a bad one for Ciaran."

OOC: Hmm, I think I see why Deamon is always trying to kill Arc now...

From behind them, Deamon came up and smacked Dezil and Arc across the backs of their heads'. "Shut up and get moving, I've already 'persuaded' everyone else to get going." Deamon was talking about most of the other survivors, who were already traveling southeast.

"Agreed." Blyr replied.

He turned towards Dezil. "So, do you remember any of Cieran's plans he made before you came here? It could help us prepare for any attacks, or potentially intercept any supplies he could be sending out."

Ripel nodded, agreeing with Deamon, though not asking how he suddenly popped up (he had learned that anything was possible with that man). "Yes, he's right. We should get going. Get your mounts, and for those of you who don't have them I'm sure we have rounded up some spare chocobo for you."

Dezil rubbed his head and shrugged, saying, "Not specifically. I only new about my specific operation. I knew he had dispatched other units on missions similar to this, but I don't remember village names or any thing specific. All I have to say is, I hope those villages knew to run, because without me sabatoging those Magiteks, they would most likely have overrun this village." Dezil looked up at the mention of chocobos and said, "Oh, right, I guess I need to ride one of those now. Guess I need to find one." Dezil left the tent, looking to see if there were spare chocobos.
