The Samurai versus the Head Minister

"Alright, it's time for me to earn my keep."

Swiftly and silently, Sylis and I gently descended to the ground right before the entrance of the district. I watched Sylis's eyes patiently, waiting for a signal from her to decide when to move. After we had stood behind the entrance for a few minutes, Sylis turned her head back to me and gave me a subtle nod.

That permission was the only thing I needed to act. Like a flash of lightning, I moved from the entrance of the District to a nearby rooftop within it. After accomplishing my feat, I watched Sylis walk into the village slowly and was quickly greeted by a group of men who I assumed were the guards.
