Acqua slips into the guild, wanting only to pay her now very late guild fees and slip out again before anyone can notice her. Pinning a scrap of paper with her name roughly scribbled on it to a money pouch, Acqua drops the small pouch into a corner and heads for the door. Hopefully it'll just be assumed that it was knocked there by accident and had been handed in on time.
She's just begining to hope she'll get away with this when a hand clamps around her arm in a vice-like grip. "You're late, Acqua," the ice-cold voice of the thief lord hisses into her ear as he touches his ice sign with his free hand.
"My lord, I can expl-" Acqua cries out in pain as Daniel's fist, covered in ice to add power to the blow, slams into her face, sending her stumbling backwards a few steps, dazed.
"I don't want to hear your pitiful excuses, Acqua," Daniel snarls as a couple of Daniel's private thugs take hold of the terrified girl. "Clearly," Daniel continues as he coats both his fists in ice, "I've been too soft on you. Well, time to put you in your place." Even as Acqua struggles desperately, she's dragged into another room with Daniel following calmly behind her.
For the next hour the only reactions to the thuds and cries coming from that room are the occassional pitying glances in that direction, except for a figure hidden in the shadows who hisses a soft disapproval. After Daniel and his enforcers finally leave, Echo darts into the room and kneels beside Acqua's motionless form, checking for a pluse on the bruised and bloody girl. "She's alive," she murmurs to Wish. "Can you lead me to your mother Wish? We'll leave her with her friends." Picking up Acqua, Echo follows her kitten out of the guild.
