That Person's Name Is...
#6
As the two Primes left the bedroom door, Agnès looked up to Shay, beginning to ask her fair share of questions.

"What is your opinion on all of this?" Agnès asked, before continuing, "Have you been told anything of our target? What has he done to warrant targeting in the first place?"

Shay raised his eyebrow as Agnès went on. "Additionally... I am not very familiar with this Omniverse. What is a Stormtrooper?" When Agnès finished asking all of these questions so quickly, Shay took a deep breath, remembering all of what she had asked. Walking into the palace's main entrance room, Shay responded.

"Well... From what I hear, our target is held in the middle of a Stormtrooper camp at Carrefore, threatening to take down Gilgamesh and anybody who follows his rule. If I assume correctly, this usually ends up in a full-on raid of the city. Even if the chances are unlikely, I'd not want to risk it." Shay took a glance at Agnès, before looking back ahead to the front entrance of the palace's interior.

"As for the Stormtroopers... I'd come to believe they're just soldiers working for the Empire over at Coruscant. Again, I don't have complaints with the lesser-ranking ones, since a few helped me when I was first placed into the Omniverse, therefore I'm only eliminating the Captain put down there." Shay continued to answer to Agnès' questions, as he walked out of the palace, nodding his head at the two guards defending the palace's perimeter as the two Primes walked past them, although they paid no mind. Shay swore he could faintly hear the aggravated shouts of Anos in the distance. Shay almost chuckled.

The two continued to walk out of the palace's exterior entrance and into Nippur. Tilting his head, Shay put together a fancy idea to perhaps prevent blood from spilling on both Agnès' and Shay's hands as he thought about the mission the two were about to take part in. Shay smirked a bit.

"Say..." Shay began, looking down at Agnès, "I wonder if we could perhaps still please Gilgamesh without putting this Stormtrooper Captain to rest?" Upon hearing the idea, the smaller woman looked back up at Shay, surprised at the offer he put up.

"I had remembered, the only requirements to complete this were 'taking him out,' and his helmet for proof..." Shay's smile widened.

Shay went on, "Perhaps we could give him more than just a simple helmet?" Shay finished suggesting to Agnès his idea as subtly as he could. He then awaited a reply to the offer, hoping it would make her more comfortable about participating in this.

"Well..." Agnès raised her head, the optimism in her voice seeming to rise a bit. She continued, "I'd appreciate if that was the case, but I'm certain you already know it would be more difficult..."

Shay smiled again, before speaking up. "Of course, but I'm sure we could definitely handle it. Besides, it would give us a good name among the people, yes?" Agnès nodded at the semi-reassuring comment. Shay blinked, looking ahead of him, finally realizing he was in the middle of the crowded city of Nippur, only a few blocks ahead where he had met Gilgamesh.

Easily finding himself blending into the crowds, Shay noticed Agnès was having a much harder time adjusting to the oncoming waves of people. All of the optimism beforehand was gone and turned into slight disturbance. Her hands were balled into fists, almost trying to cover her own face with them, looking around frantically, attempting to look as if she wasn't bothered by all of this.

Shay giggled under his breath as he looked at Agnès trying to distance herself as much as possible in the middle of the loud and active plaza. Gently grasping at Agnès' shoulder, Shay escorted her to a lesser busy sidewalk, making his stance as prominent as he could to make it known the two were trying to get past.

As the two got onto the sidewalk, Shay let go of Agnès' shoulder, following along the sidewalk towards the exit of the city only a couple hundred meters away from where they stood.

"The two guards patrolling the perimeter of the city's gates should be able to tell us where Careforre is," Shay looked back down at Agnès as he spoke, putting on a more serious expression than he was showing beforehand. "This might be your last chance to turn back," Shay quietly said to his partner.
