The male thief and often assassin raised an eyebrow at the other females response to his questions. She seemed sincere enough to where Kyou had questioned if she was as lost on what was going on as themselves or had simply been a clever. Either option seemed likely for the cloaked figure, but as she lowered the murder weapon and demanded to hear what they knew of it, Kyou did feel confident enough to risk playing along with any possible ruse. "What we're doing here has nothing to do with the murder of your Lord. That much I can assure." He spoke, trying to keep his answers short and to the point due to knowing they had little time for staying put at the scene of an obvious murder plot, "As for that blade? I don't know how it came into the possession of yourself or whomever murderer is, but we-"<br/><br/>His words were interrupted by the sound of multiple sets of footsteps, which in turned caused the male to swiftly redirect the majority of his attention toward the newly arrived guards. As one of the men made the order to have Sayuri and himself slain without a second thought, the male couldn't help to let out a brief grumble before quipping to his partner, "This truly seems to be your night for making correct assumptions on everything. Now if only your 'predictions' were a tad more optimistic for a change."<br/><br/>Preparing to draw out his own blades in order to assist his partner in the seemingly inevitable outcome of bloodshed, Kyou did find himself pausing for a moment and slowly glancing toward Sayuri as she insulted the men and then threw in the mention of how they might be killers on any other night. His eyes seemed to say 'seriously not helping', but any actual words which may come out were interrupted by the following actions of a soldier foolish enough to make the first move on them. Kyou wouldn't respond - already knowing by the man's movements that he'd pose no threat for Sayuri in her already agitated state - as the half-demon dealt with the guard swiftly.<br/><br/>There were so many bodies filling the relatively small area to where Kyou had lost sight of the other woman, but the male could hear her voice amongst the angry clamoring of bloodthirsty soldiers. Perking up an eyebrow, the former monk could hear actual protests from the woman, which was perhaps the one voice of reason being spoken amongst the many filling the departed Lord's chambers. But such musings on Kyou's part were largely done in passing, as his body's actions and main focus remained squarely on following Sayuri's lead after she made an opening for them both with the thrown guards body.<br/><br/>"Idiots like you are why I rarely consort with 'civilized' society any longer." The male growled while pushing his way any others whom may get in his way until they were able to get ahead of the current sea of fools and prepare to fight their way through the rest. Their path was filled with many others whom needed only take a look at the strange pair to realize they were the supposed enemy. Kyou's heart pumped almost as fast as those legs ran and arms swung away while they fought in a flurry of motions. Again following Sayuri's lead, they made their way outside and  toward the stables where their hope of escape awaited.<br/><br/>Along the way, however, Kyou wasn't oblivious to the returned presence of a familiar face whom the other guards likely weren't paying a second notice toward at this point. Glancing toward the female from before, the former monk waited until they were near the stables, with the other guards far enough away and regrouping enough for them to have even a moment or two for catching their breath - let alone exchanging any words. Coming to an abrupt stop as they reached and entered the stables, Kyou put up a currently unarmed hand for signaling the woman to maintain the slight distance. "Hold it right there." The male spoke; showing surprisingly little strain for air considering the speed they moved and his need for fighting during nearly every step of it, "Who are you and why do you follow us? You don't seem anywhere near so headstrong as your friends back there, so I doubt you came all of this way to take us back for a sure death sentence."<br/><br/>Listening for the footfalls of others while signaling for Sayuri to begin retrieving a couple of horses, Kyou began to lower his hand and split his attention between helping his partner with the horses and addressing the strange female as he added, "And you'd do best to speak fast. Our time is limited before they find us in here - assuming they aren't already aware of where we are after what Sayuri said earlier." The latter seemed a very likely possibility. Although with the way they were too busy shouting amongst themselves, Kyou wouldn't be surprised if his partners words had fallen on deaf ears.
