Elian glanced down at the guard's calloused hand that was currently grasping his wrist, an uneasy sensation welling up in the pit of his stomach for a reason that he knew quite well. The tall male in front of him was a guard, there was no doubt about that; but what would the other guards say if they saw the dark blue-haired male sneaking the teen inside the Palace? Would the guard get in trouble? There was no doubt about that!"Why... did you let me in?" Elian questioned in a hushed voice, not wanting to bring attention towards them even though the guard seemed to be rather confident in where they were heading to. Elian did his best to keep up with the guard's pace, a small furrow in between his eyebrows. The guard peered over his broad shoulder and stared directly at Elian's crystal blue eyes with his dark brown ones, soon looking back at the path in front of them. "Are you coming here to steal?
