"Raise your hands where we can see them."

A short creature complies wordlessly.

They are more demands, but they filter through his head not unlike the teacher voice from Charlie Brown. And while externally he is complying, internally is nothing but a huge, heaving sigh.

Well, that didn't go as planned, did it? He was supposed to infiltrate after all, but the leader of this group was entirely too distrustful and not even the promise of coin and favors seemed to sway him. Not even from his own kin.

But perhaps being his own kin is exactly why he was so distrusted.

Thoughts on whom he should have picked as a host dance in his head along with the preparedness for the almost scolding he would get from Elidibus for the setback. He loves the man dearly, but sometimes he could get terribly tedious and be terribly dull.

And that is the last thought that goes through his head as the blade of an axe goes through it.

[No shade on anyone who loves lalafells, I think they are cute! But I just imagine Emet would hate it whenever he had to be one, and he must have been over his many lifetimes in canon.]
