Babu And Lezlie : Distractions (Babu)
After our unexpected separation from Ryuu and the rest of our companions, Lezlie and I found ourselves compelled to attract attention to ourselves. Fortunately, we stumbled upon a secluded path, where we could proceed unnoticed. The top priority was to avoid being caught by the merpeople at all costs.
As we reached a dimly lit hallway, I gestured for Lezlie to halt, and in a hushed tone, I relayed our plan to her. "Now, all we need to do is draw attention to ourselves discreetly," I whispered, my voice tinged with nervous anticipation.
However, a soldier suddenly appeared in front of us and we were spotted earlier than we expected. He delivered an urgent message, causing alarm to surge through our veins. "The prisoners have escaped. Sound the alarm," he said and quickly moved away from the area we were in. In the face of the soldier's situation, the short-draft plans we had in mind were put to bed. Holding our breath has become a challenge.
