Except he'd just seen Frankenstein listen to M-21's decision. He was.asking him? Whatever the strongest decided, that was what the others did. "What would you like to do?" "What?" Kentas blinked. "And you?" Frankenstein asked, still focused on them. "I can do that." "Garda's status is stable," Frankenstein told them and Kentas heard Lunark's sigh of relief echo his. "Well, I certainly can't deny you that - though you will have to wait a few minutes for us to set up." M-21 huffed, a small smile curling his lips. Frankenstein hummed, placing his fingers to his chin. Tao and Takeo glanced at Frankenstein, who had just entered the room from the other door. "I'd prefer to just collapse here," M-21 said, shaking his head. But the Noblesse had come for M-21 so maybe… Kentas had been so wrong about his own people, so what could he say about the nobles? "Do you need-" the boy started. The boy was staring at M-21, his eyes wide. He had heard the new Clan Leaders were young, but he hadn't thought they were that young. He glanced at her incredulously, not sure if he'd heard her right. "The girl is the Loyard Clan Leader," she murmured. There was another table to the left and standing next to it was.two noble children? Lunark squeezed his wrist again. "Don't call-!" The short corridor through the door led to a more open area, with a table to the right and chairs lining it. "Barely," M-21 muttered at the same time.
They all lived here together? "Yooo," Tao called out as he and Takeo led M-21 further inside, "guess who we found!" "I'm hoping he's alive," a voice bit out, tinged with the Lukedonian accent, "and since you're joking, that means he's alive and conscious." "Got it in one, Number 3!" Tao said. There was a mix of humans, nobles and that specific blend M-21 was.
Frankenstein had already gone, taking Garda to where he said he would be able to monitor her status. The Noblesse handed them a pair of the pink shoes each and they changed into them, Lunark putting her boots to the side. The others were doing it without question, Takeo holding M-21 up while Tao put the new shoes on his feet. There was a hold-up inside the house and Kentas lifted his head, watching the people inside change their shoes to put on new ones. The Union wouldn't care, no matter Lunark's status. They couldn't return to the werewolves, not when they would be sent back to the lab for someone else to experiment on them. Kentas swallowed as he lifted his feet again. They had come for M-21, but they could have left him and Garda there to rot rather than freeing them as well and inviting them back. They'd rescued Garda as well, Frankenstein going on ahead with her so he could see to her faster. They were also the ones that had listened to her and came to their rescue. The Noblesse, whose name stopped people in their tracks, and Frankenstein, who Lunark had said they'd been able to fight on equal footing.
Kentas glanced at the Noblesse who was opening the door.
It was smaller than what he was used to seeing, smaller than the werewolf stronghold but. They were lead to a building that looked no different from the rest of the buildings along the entire street. Not when M-21's arms were around the shoulders of two of them (Kentas knew their names, had heard them enough - Takeo and Tao?), his toes dragging when he didn't lift them high enough. He exhaled, leaning further into her, hating that he needed her support, but the others with them didn't spare them a glance, didn't send them mocking looks. Everything ached, unused to being pulled (or too used to it after that noble's experiments on him). Kentas gritted his teeth, swallowing a grunt, but he shook his head when Lunark shot him a look, tightening her hand on his wrist.
