"What now?" asked Gabbagi as he turned towards the Usagijin.
The noise reverberated throughout the entire town, where once there was silence, only the loud shrill of the flute could be heard. It filled the skies with it's piercing noise. Even penetrating some of the more darker parts of the town.
Such as...
Tileesha's concentration was broken, as the new strange sound could be heard even in the darkness. She hissed while holding injured ears, turned towards the direction it was coming from... it's source. The sound was unbearable, but Duile (still chained up) had to take it. The Half-elf gritted his teeth from the pain registering on his elven ears, but he welcomed the demoness' distraction.
As the sound died down, Tileesha shook her head, the ringing was still quite present within her mind. "What the devils was that?" she asked, while turning back aound, and was met by a chain being swiftly brought around her neck.
Duile Coppermirth... was free.
Time seemed to pause around the two, as their eyes never left the others. The half-elf's ears had small trickles of blood flowing down towards his neck. The thorn covered vines were still constricted around most of Coppermirth's body. But despite the pain... his hold on the chain... was quite strong.
"How?" asked Tileesha, staring up at her new captor, the roles being obviously reversed.
"Drakhurn didn't search me completely. I always carry plenty of lock-picking items on my person. Now it's my turn to ask the questions. You're going to tell me the truth now, she-bitch... you're gonna tell me the truth about those kids!" ordered Duile, tightening his grip.
Back with the group....
"Holy Shit!!!!! You could've waited for me to hold my frikkin' ears!!!" growled Gabbagi, having been at "ground zero" of Bunny's flute playing. The ringing he experienced was deafening. It would pass... hopefully... as the shapeshifting demon shook his head furiously, trying to get said buzzing out of his head.
