By now Fallon had taken a second crouch, the gloves having been ripped off with the finger tips tracing over the worn wood surfaces. Probing, searching, feeling through the nooks and crannies. There was no doubt the faint stale residue of sweat upon the fabric, but otherwise it was masked in something else. Hands gently probed, feeling underneath the bed before she simply got down on her knees and looked beneath it properly. There was space beneath and she reckoned a body could easily slip underneath there out of sight if need be - a good hiding spot as long as one did not need to escape so soon. In the background Zandelia was speaking, and it was only then Fallon looked at her, "You would kill eh? I'll make sure to never get in between you and a bed then."
Matthew of course was absent, why not believe what he had said? She believed him not to be the sort to beat about on what he was going to be doing - so why doubt his words. Regardless, she still continued her prowling around the room and her intent looking to what was around her. Fingers pulled upon the draw handle, a peer in as she looked at the revealed contents before she simply dipped the hand in. Her head however turned back to the woman as she received the look and finally had digested Fallon's earlier words. It was only her brow however that creased in response, "You still are angry. And acceptably so. But do not allow yourself to become blinded by it and forget what you already know and where your focus should lie. We know what Matthew is like, so enough of him and the dallying there of. You do not know however, like myself, what this... mystery group is like," Fingers grasped around something, snagging and curling round, "You have a target, direct your arrow to it, pull back the bow sting and fire."
Standing, she pulled free what was kept within the draw and turned to present it to the woman. It was a length of silk rope, obviously used for those who had certain fetishes. Sniffing she rubbed the smooth surface between her thumb and forefinger, her lips twisting as she ticked the plan over within her mind, "We may need this for binding... No. Not that sort of binding. Torture binding. Not pleasurable binding."
The rope was draped loosely around her neck at that point like some strange scarf, as her fingers wriggled across the air as she felt it. Her brow eased off then, and she sighed, "Be careful what you say. The walls are very thin and full of ears. Do not speak more than necessary if you can help it on certain things. Though... you are right. I could rip their throats out - but that would be too quick, it would be much worth to milk the cow instead of outright killing it, so to speak." Stepping round, Fallon took in the room as she contemplated the next move, "Behind the door would be best, easier to step out from, quicker and easier to perform a lock down on. That and they would be distracted by the target before them to think about covering the rear."
Fallon shook her head, "I know not where he kept his belongings. Though if it is him, I imagine he would not leave things behind and rid himself of what he does not need. We will have to stay put this time round and wait." Even that made Fallon feel slightly restless. The longer they waited, the less time they would have to do other things - and what if they were discovered to have entered the Brothel? No doubt the whole group would swarm around them like bees to honey in an instant. Her lip gave a twitch, her fingers once more tracing the surfaces as she considered using the Lykata for a moment, and then she promptly shook her head, "You remember the cup from all that time ago? It would be the same principle but on a much larger scale. The... Lykata here would without a doubt pick up the more suggestive side of things. Sex, passion, pleasure, pain... the sounds of groans and the memories of long, hot nights..." She coughed and cleared her throat at that point and then tugged her gloves on once more, "We do not need the obvious stated to us. I do not think it will help us here."
Taking a seat upon the foot of the bed, Fallon stared intently at the closed door. Fingers laced together, her lids breaking into a narrow as she focused. There was a faint grind of steel as she drew the tulwar, turned it in her grip and tapped the ground with the point. From there both hands rested on top of the pommel, the right hand complaining slightly as she felt the round disk within her palm.
"Legs, from the knee down. You will have to be fast, for I will not be able to get up and move," She told the woman firmly, "As soon as an entrance is made, close the door quickly and clobber. With your tonfa, aim to stun if you can. Once they are stunned it will be easier to deal with them for answers." Focusing her djed, Fallon sucked in the air. Feet planted themselves firmly on the floor, her shoulders hunching in as she thought about the weave of the astral, and begun the unweaving of it from her legs. Pulling, teasing, unstitching almost as she felt the numbness begin to work its way down. Lifting her chin she stared at the door as a playful knocked wrapped upon it and an equally playful voice of one of Brega's harlots purred out from behind it, "I'll be coming to play with you soon, Lad."
Footsteps hurried away after that. There was a flicker as Fallon turned her gaze to Zandelia and gave a nod. That was their cue. Pulling out the astral, she felt the weightlessness of her legs as they shifted and moved - it was unusual to use them instead of her arms, but in this case it made more sense. She thought about the shape, her mind turning over how they could be of better use instead of their more physical matching. Tentacles came to the front of her mind, and it was the low, thudding steps belonging to another echoed from the corridor that she realised how near everything was. The pulse quickened, the gaze flickering one last time before she stared upon the door. The handle begun to turn, and the latch clicked open.
It was show time.
