Run!
Late that night, under a blue half-moon, Hakken held her elbow out for Vanessa to latch onto. Both wore full cloaks to seemingly keep themselves warm. In actuality, it was to hide their swords, armor, and the shields on their back. To every stranger walking by, they appeared to be the cutest couple ever.
Their pacing was slow. Neither cold stop pointing out motions in the water or random birds that flew by. Perhaps there was a loving atmosphere in Rome that predated ancient times. It wasn't until they were near the church that they began walking in the shadows. Stars still sparkled in their eyes. The few soldiers that were patrolling that night didn't pay any mind towards them.
It was great being unnoticed in the building's shadows. They were able to sneak towards a side door of the church as instructed and use the key to go in.
