Merinn read the poster absentmindedly while he waited. There was a buzz in the hallways today, or maybe Urithiru was always this busy, he wouldn't know.
Finally, Ali'i burst out of the wall at his feet. The small spren took the shape of a small man made of rock.
"This way's clear of guards," he announced, "Let's go!"
"O- okay . . . um . . ." Merinn mumbled, starting down the hallway.
"Yeah?" Ali'i asked as he skipped along, invisible to human eyes.
"You still haven't told me why you wanted me to come to the most human ridden place on the planet," Merrin said.
"Ooooh yeah!" he stopped in the hall, and began bouncing in excitement, "We're here to make friends!"
"May I remind you, Ali'i, that everyone here wants to kill me?" Merrin nervously adjusted the wooden mask and cloak he was wearing to hide his singer features. He had only snuck through security thus far with pure luck, and those weird rock powers he had now. What would they do with him if he was caught?
What if they thought he was a spy for the Fused? They would never believe that a tiny man made of rocks had convinced him to come here.
"That's not true! I heard some people talking about a listener who's friends with the Kholins themselves!" The small spren declared, he began skipping down the hall again.
"I- I'm sure that there are specific circumstances that wouldn't apply in my case . . . or it's just a rumor, we have no way to be certain!" Then, a terrifying thought occurred to him.
"Your not taking me to the Kholins are you?!"
Ali'i shook his head. "Nah, they're way out of your league, I'm just going to the address on that one poster."
"But we have no idea who lives there! It could be a human!"
"Of course it'll be a human! that's why we're here! Those fused guys you work for aren't very good friends, so we're looking else where." Ali'i stopped skipping and settled in front of a door.
"This is it?" Merinn asked, eyeing the door.
"Yup, now knock."
"I don't suppose we could just call it a day and go home now?"
"We didn't just break into the most secure human base in the world for you to back down now Merinn." Ali'i appeared on his shoulder.
The singer sighed, this was ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.
He knocked on the door.
