Disintegration

[Ellie's P.O.V.]

I frowned when I heard the details of the guard's report. I hadn't smelled anything on Axi, even when I put the powder on him, so what was the guard referring to? Was it gone by the time Axi returned? But that was no longer important. Even if Axi didn't give us the map, we still got it in the end through different means.

Based on the guard's expression when he gave us his report, I knew Axi had not been lying, so I didn't ask any more questions about the two children. As long as they were fine, I had enough time to plan.

Anton quickly dismissed the guard and I took out the powder and accompanying note. Only then did I understand that the person applying it and the person that had it applied on would not be able to smell the fragrance the powder emitted. If that were the case, wouldn't Axi's movements have been detected by anyone close enough at Ferocious Tiger Gang?
