As much as Inga wanted to stay and play with the Deku, she knew they would have to get out quick or else they'd be caught and put back in their cells. "Say please," she teased as she went through the keys to figure out which one would work on the door.

"Fine. Please shut up and open this friggen door." Orlin was done with this. He wasn't exactly fond of cages, or this woman. He could feel his sap pressure rising as she slowly drifts her fingers across the keys. His hands grip the bench, so that he won't just jump and attack her as soon as the door opens. Get the rage out now, Orlin.Comment

When the deku sat on the bench across the cell, Inga felt a small bit of pity for him. Realizing that he probably got teased plenty everyday, she decided to simmer down a little. Once she found a key that fit in the lock, she twisted it and let the door swing open. "You're a free Deku," Inga said cheerfully. "Stay outta trouble, now."Comment

Orlin laughed and walked past her, "No promises on that one," he headed quickly for the doors, then stopped and turned back to her, "Thanks by the way." He didn't know why he said it. By all rights he should've hated her by that point, like he did most people. But not really. She was an ***, that was for sure, but the fact that she ended up letting him out said something about her. What, he wasn't entirely sure, but it meant something to him.Last edited by DekuNut; 04-06-2016, 11:37 PM.Comment

Inga flashed an amused smile back at the Deku as he thanked her. She followed him upstairs back outside, habitually moving silently enough for her presence to be forgotten. It appeared that they wouldn't have to worry about seeing any more guards as the only one on prison duty was facedown in a cell. Inga still didn't like the deku but was warm enough to ask a question out of curiosity.
"Why don't I see any others like you around here?" came her roguish voice behind him.Comment

"Same reason as why I don't see a lot of you, I 'spect," he told her, "My people lock themselves in. Loners. Distrustful of outsiders." He paused, poked his head into the next room. He saw a sillouette and jumped a little before realizing that it was just an armor stand. He sighed. He was jumpy... why would there only be one guard on duty?" he shrugged and continued, "I left to gain some respect. I was probably the first to leave the swamp in ages. Now tell me, what's your story?"Comment

"I'm from a small, old-fashioned village in Hyrule," Inga began, preferring to be vague in the information she gave. "I'm probably the only one who's been this far away from home. The people in my village aren't too fond of the outside world either, so I suppose we aren't too different. What's your name, Deku?"Last edited by Peeps; 04-10-2016, 12:08 PM.Comment

He glanced back at her, then returned his gaze to the front, "Orlin," he told her, "And yours?"
Not as bad as he thought she was at first, he guessed. Once they got past the whole race thing - which he had to deal with a lot on the outside, as he expected she did as well - it didn't seem like she sucked as a person. Maybe she was even starting to grow on him a little, as unlikely as that sounded.Comment

"Katya," Inga answered. She almost said Kaida, but twisted it in case it was a known name in town. She had a habit of hiding under a made up identity when talking to strangers. It wasn't even her being paranoid, she just liked deceiving people. As she slid the keyring she had been holding into her leggings, she got an idea. "Know of any black market around here?" Orlin seemed shady enough to her. She figured there would be a criminal who'd pay a lot to have keys to the prison. Then she would gain something out of the situation.Comment

Orlin nodded when he heard the name. Hearing her question, he turned back to her, a sly grin on his face, "You came to the right guy, Kat," he opened up the front door to the jail-building and, closing his eyes, he slipped through into the dark night. It took him seconds to reach a bush a couple yards away, finally opening his eyes, allowing their orange glow to be seen. He assessed his positioning and nodded to himself before glancing back at the exit.Comment

Inga followed Orlin's speedy lead and leapt off the wall to reach the prison roof where she crouched low, noticing the glowing eyes in a bush. It was hard to not admire the starry sky but Inga focused on the part of town below her. There wasn't any movement, but she wanted to get out of the area before a guard came through. She decided to follow Orlin's lead, expecting him to know a good place to stay out of sight.Comment

Orlin walked through the bushes and slowly made his way towards the entrance to north clock town. He checked over his shoulder. Yep, there she was. He still wasn't sure about bringing a new person to the Markets, but it was obvious she wasn't a guard, and plus he kinda owed her. Oh yeah, and she had keys that would go for big bucks down there. He couldn't forget that part.
As they got into North Town, he began to sidle his way along a wall.Comment
-
Inga followed from above, silently leaping along rooftops until she dropped down next to Orlin. She crept along the wall with him, moving quietly as a pair of ghosts. So far the only guard she noticed in the area was the one at the gate to the northern part of the field. He was perfectly clueless but if needed, Inga was ready to cast a cloaking spell over herself and the deku.Comment

Once they get to North Clock Town, Orlin makes his way to the Deku Minigame hole and hops in.
"Boys!" Orlin calls to the groggy business scrubs, "I'm back!"Comment

Inga gracefully landed behind Orlin and took a second to examine her new surroundings, noticing some suspicious items on sale. The underground hub was inhabited by two scrubs who appeared to be the main merchants, as well as a few other rouge type figures scattered around minding their own business.
"Well look who it is!" one of the scrubs greeted Orlin. "And you've brought a friend?"
"Katya Kachal," Inga said blankly. She got a sense the scrubs weren't entirely comfortable with having a stranger.
"Well then, you've come to do business with us, yes?"
"Mhmm." Inga reached into her pants and pulled out the key. "I happened upon this set of keys for the prison..."
"!!!" The scrub looked surprised and shuffled over to snatch the keys and have a closer look. His expression calmed down as he returned to business mode. "I see. And how do you know these are for the prison?"
"That's where we just came from," Inga explained. "If you don't want em I'm sure I could find someone else who does."
"No, yes, how about 50 rupees?"
"I was actually looking for a trade more than a sale," Inga started. There was something on a shelf that she wanted in her hands, and she wasn't exactly in need of rupees. She inflicted dark energy into her voice so the scrub would submit and not try to hustle her. "Give me the two masks and you can have them." She pointed to a pair of masks nearby. One was a dark hood that she fancied, and the other was a skeletal mask she planned on giving to Orlin if he felt ripped off.

The deku looked hesitantly at his masks. "Yes, the masks would be enough." The deku walked over and hopped on a stool so he could reach the masks, bringing them down to Inga. "Do we have a deal?"
"Yes, ma'am!" The scrub handed Inga two masks and she gave him the jangling clump of keys. "Good doing business with you."
"Of course," Inga agreed with a hint of mockery in her voice. She turned to Orlin and nodded, turning back towards the exit. It wouldn't be long before her influence wore off the merchant.Comment
