A Cardinal's Sin

A cell in Greygate was not how he planned on spending the day, but that appeared to be the case for the half-blind brood known as Milo Shinseki. He was, however, not alone in the cell. Accompanying him was an Altalar woman with fiery red hair, standing one inch taller than Milo. The reason as to why they were here, at least in Milo and Fen's eyes, was because of the man known as Cedric of Turrent. However, things went further downhill as the two had conversed in Modern Altalar in attempt to keep to themselves, joking of making a new truth as Cedric had seemed to have done, which proved to be a failure as it turned out the guards actually were fluent in said language.

Milo had been pulled from the cell, then being taken to the interrogation room. It started off with simple threats; speak the truth or be punished. However, Milo had pretty much spoken all he had to say of the situation, thus causing the threats to increase, as the threat of execution of him and the Altalar being thrown into the mix. With no clear plan, and not necessarily wanting him nor Fen to die, he spilled something he did know, but knew that it might cause some of his allies and friends to cut ties with him.

With a sigh, he told of the gang that he had been involved with as of recently; the Castaways. A meeting was then requested at that, with the promise of no harm being involved. Once there, and both seated with two other individuals supervising, he made the choice of ratting out the leader of the Castaways, as well as the Inn Keeper of the Nook known as Maria Valnet. He had told them of one other member, the Beggar, and had hoped that would be all.

Unfortunately, the subject then decided to involve Fen and her activities, and if she, too, was a member of the Castaways. Milo dropped it at a "might," in hopes of them believing that that was all he knew. Luckily, they dismissed him, as well as paying him 200r for telling such information. He thought he heard them say one more thing, but it was in a language he didn't know. Upon being escorted out, he made one final request, which was to try and keep that whole discussion between them. Upon them agreeing, he left. The feeling of guilt beginning to grow as he stepped away from Greygate. He had a feeling that his most trusted allies would now only see him as as traitor, and fear of his most trusted friend, Fen, would likely refuse to acknowledge the Sihai brood after his betrayal.

Stepping away, making his way home, he prepared for whatever was planned for him tomorrow.
