he's disguised himself as a person with normal clothes, although the two of them will still be able to see his wings, since he's walking into the holding area where they're in their goddamn holding cell, long jacket billowing.

and stares at them. ]
I looked away. For five minutes. To speak with Kaburagi.
Explain to me how this happened. And why you thought that, as cross-world travelers, you thought that this logic would work on the locals.
[ being soaking wet and covered in bruises just makes you EVEN MORE PATHETIC.
baraqiel's daemon pokes its weasel head up out from underneath his braidscarf, chittering annoyedly, but the watcher is just holding a hand up and summoning hard starlight. just a small bit, that he can hold in his fingers. ]
... Well.. Miss Power was very frustrated after the execution, as was I. So we went somewhere that was a little less populated, and I challenged her to a sparring match.
[
sweats. san lang has ferret formed himself and is curled up and hiding around xie lian's neck, pretending to be a very convincing scarf. ] It was fine, at first! People even tossed money in our direction, when they did come by!
[ at least he's not making them explain the whole thing before he gets them out. he rolls the starlight between thumb and forefinger like clay that he's forming, listening, before slipping it into the lock on the door and shimmying it a little to form it into the key it needs to be. ]
Is Ritty with you, or is he waiting for you to get out.
Yes!! Yes, that's it! We weren't ever going to really hurt each other!! So, I mean, they could've just asked us!
[ Sometimes swords and blades fly and it all looks really bad. ]
Ritty is... right outside, I made him take the message as we were passing by...
[ Heralded by a barking right outside, audible through their little window grate that they've got, you know, jail cells. Hilariously the bark sounds mega-annoyed. ]
I believe we've overstayed our welcome for this "convention" they keep claiming we're here for. They probably saw two people with blades flying as threats. I'm going to have to get Fang Xin back from wherever they've taken it...
[ SIGHS. but there's a click! as the mechanism is fooled by this key - which shatters into shimmering, silver-white dust - and baraqiel opens the door. ]
At least they've only locked you in here, instead of taking you somewhere else, considering we jump worlds tonight. Out. Ritty, work uniform - go wait for us out front.
[ A curious noise from outside but they will hear the light pitter patter of feet turn into a flutter of feathers. She will just have to deal with this brief distancing, this is her punishment. ]
Y-yes... there are certainly worse prisons out there... [ Unfortunately she may know this to some extent. And at Xie Lian's urging, she tip toes out with a most awkward bow? Nod? Of her head, too. ] Thanks Barry.
[ Ritty is outside, perched behind a wall in owl form. Grats, Xie Lian is the first to see this. Anyway that owl is going to immediately bully Power the second they're out, wingbapping her and pecking (lightly) at her head. It's the Aki part of him scolding her for shenanigans. ]
[ baraqiel, a watcher: can see everything that celestials are doing specifically
he ignores it and instead goes to get fang xin after sneaking the two of them out. he's not actually that mad, because he's not actually that surprised, but, like. also. ridiculous.
he returns xie lian his sword in one hand, reaching to tweak power's ear without touching ritty during the owl's wingbaps. his daemon emerges from its hiding spot and jumps on xie lian, squeaking and fussing at him and san lang. ]
Don't get arrested again between now and the change in worlds.
[ hello weasel. xie lian opens his arms as the creature comes leaping at him and laughs, letting the warm feeling of starburst in his chest shove away any worries about. you know. being arrested. in typical xie lian fashion he has already decided he was right and therefore is above the law. ]
Of course, Baraqiel. I won't repent, but I will stay out of trouble.
[ giving the weasel a little nuzzle and smiling at power. hehe ]
