Twirling a sword in one hand, and popping a piece of candy into his mouth with the other, Gaius weighed adding a bit more gear to his usual battle setup. Sure the thief thing was working, but his last brush with against a spear point was a bit too close for comfort. He gripped the handle, blade pointing behind him, before swiping at an imaginary foe.
"Watch it!"
Startled, Gaius juggled the sword, pressing the handle to his chest, whipping his head back and forth, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Hello? In front of you." A mildly disgruntled Kellam as looking down at him, the imaginary foe Gaius had been attacking not as imaginary as he seemed.
"Say something before I take a jab at you." Gaius really hadn't noticed Kellam, and felt a bit of guilt sitting on his conscious. He didn't actually notice the knight, ever. "Sorry about that though. Just thinking about adding some new tricks." He tried twirling the blade again, only managing to drop in mid spin.
Kellam eyed the thief, who was trying to play off the accident, but was obviously a bit rattled by almost skewering a teammate. "Ever consider training to be an assassin?" Although others may not have been taking note of him, Kellam had kept an eye on everyone else. "As light footed as you are, you could go in for a kill undetected."
Gaius raised an eyebrow. Be more sneaky than he already was? "Coming from you, I must take it you think I'm some kind of phantom."
The knight scoffed. "Who else is taking the sugar from the stores? Sumia's furious every time she tries to bake a tart and gets low on ingredients."
Grinning, Gaius stuck another piece of candy in his mouth and grinned. "Seems like I still got a bit of work to do. Can't let my secret get out." He tossed a sweet at Kellam, the knight catching it easily. "Hush money, yeah?"
Kellam rolled the treat between his fingers before tossing it in his mouth. "I'll take it as a sorry for almost stabbing me." Waving to the other, Kellam headed off, his shift for guard duty was almost on.
Gaius watched the knight walk off. He had a fast gait for someone so large, and so quiet too. "An assassin huh?" Mulling over the prospect, Gaius realized that the Kellam had never promised to keep his sugar pilfering a secret. Scrambling up, he called out, unsure if the knight could even hear him. "Wait, so are you telling or no?"
AN: Be real. Kellam is the best assassin.
