(Finally have time off and am not too tired to use it!)
"Maybe we can get you one of his older suits to borrow, I don't think he plans on going in his old armor, so it wouldn't make much sense to go in yours." Garrick says, pocketing his watch before turning to Bre, "Thank you for your time, madam, but we really must be going now."
MEANWHILE
"Oh! Well that's a shame." Brianna says sadly, "Maybe I could walk you there?"
"Huh, she really is prepared for anything..." Cereza commented, noticing her handing the Umbrella to Leander.
"Alright, then let's go. We don't have much time." Levi says, ready to follow Garrick.
MEANWHILE
"Sorry, Brianna but I'm gonna need to decline. As much as I'd like to say yes, it's getting pretty dark out and a pretty woman like yourself shouldn't be walking home alone at night. I'd like you to go with Sal and head home."
(I'm under the assumption that both Brianna and Sal live at the Crimson Cauldron.)
MEANWHILE
"She is. I'll ask around after dinner if there are any spare umbrellas for you to use, Cereza." Leander said as he set the umbrella next to him.
"Awww, oh well. Goodbye then!" The arachne said, shrugging. Muzukiel and Kasia getting up to follow Garrick as well.
"Thank you."
"Good day, Miss Bre, Miss Aqua." Garrick nods before opening the door for Levi and his friends as they make their way back to Leander's manor.
MEANWHILE
(Yes they do.)
"I understand, Farewell Ben..." She says, giving him a small kiss on the cheek before leaving the room with Sal and the two trouble makers to head back home.
MEANWHILE
Hush hisses as he makes his way to the docs through the sewers, still evading the guards that were still some long ways off behind him after the butcher escaped on his last leg.
Upon arriving at the manor, Levi gave a surprised reaction. "Uh... What happened?" He asked as they went up to the front door.
MEANWHILE
Sadly for Hush, he'd find that it was raining outside. Unfortunate for him.
"Y-yeah, what happened here?" Kasia asked.
(I swear I made a response for this days ago...)
Garrick frowns and marches towards the manor, stopping to speak with a nearby servant or guard to find out what had happened.
"What happened here? Where is Lord Leander?"
Meanwhile...
Hush clawed at the stone walls as he seethed with anger, looking around for any way out of the sewer or a way to avoid getting touched by this downpour that would be like acid to his vampiric skin.
"Ah, Garrick..." The butler notices Levi and the others, thinking for a moment before turning to Garrick. "Well... I'm afraid I can't comply with your first question at the moment. But rest assured, Leander is just fine. He and miss Cereza are being escorted by the ever so diligent Adeline to the royal dinner. May I ask why you all are here?"
MEANWHILE
As Hush searched around he found a bared sewer entrance. He could potentially take safety under the docks... Though, he'd have to get through the bars first. He could footsteps behind him. His other option was to go to his left and hope to find another exit.
"Master Levi is in need of a suit for his and his party's invitation to the king's dinner with Master Leander. However, our only options are to borrow one of his dress suits off of him, or have him marry an Arachne." Garrick says.
Meanwhile...
Hush hisses and considers his options, deciding on pricking himself to use his acidic blood to corrode the bars enough to break them down with a loud bang, slipping down the other passage before his pursuers could catch up to mislead them into going outside while he keeps moving.
What do you think?
