Troy knew Tesla was hesitant to follow him, after all, the pair had only just officially met and that hadn’t exactly been under the best circumstances. Hearing the older man’s answer just proved that.<br/><br/>“Well that sure sounds like a half assed answer.” Troy laughed. “What, no secret group of spies coming to whisk you away into the shadows?”<br/><br/>When the girl gave her answer, Troy helped her up and sent one final glance towards the door.<br/><br/>“Good enough for me. Let’s go!” Leading the pair behind the counter, Troy exited out the back door which opened onto a rather dirty back alley. Following the alley around the side of the building, Troy paused outside of a thin black metal gate that led down a flight of stone steps.<br/><br/>“Now I know this probably isn’t either of your top picks for escape routes, but you’ll just have to take my word for it.” He unlatched the gate, letting it swing open with a squeak. Turning to look over his shoulder, he gave his companions a grin before descending the steps.<br/><br/>“And try not to piss anyone off, okay?”<br/><br/>The steps led to what would be deemed the rough end of town, where the beggars gathered at the end of the day, and often the city’s black market operated. Walking the old stone street, Troy looked right at home among the criminals and shady corners. When the girl ran up beside him, Troy smiled at her and waved off her thanking.<br/><br/>“Don’t worry about it. I couldn’t just let a pretty lady bleed out all over by favourite bar’s floor now could I?” He gave her a wink. “Nice to meet you Ana, I’m Troy.” He pulled one hand out of his pocket and held it out to her. He then turned to Tesla.<br/><br/>“So what do you need? A place to lay low for a bit? A quick path to your own hallowed halls?”
