It wasn't even his second day and he was hard at work! While Lagi was speaking with the officials of his country, Bahir stood in the background. He was leaning against one of the pillars in the meeting room, behind Lagi. The way he was positioned was ideal for him: he wouldn't be able to be seen easily. There were a couple of the officials who just KNEW that the King's Shadow would be ever present and have gotten over the possibility. The others had no idea of Bahir's presence. The thought amused him. Surely, they knew of Lagi's hidden guardian by now? Oh well. The less to know of him, the better he supposed. However, the meeting was pretty boring to the Shadow. All they were talking about were policies for Lagi's animals and how to keep Azix's work force program in play. Two things that Bahir didn't know anything about.
Instead of paying the officials in the room any more attention, Bahir went back to his job. He kept his ears open and his eyes started to dart back and forth through the Emperor's meeting room. The youthful eyes and ears of the Fanalis spy were sharpened to the point where he could hear a new person in the area start to breathe. He praised the heavens for his youth, because his senses were still in their prime! Unlike the older of his kin who would be starting to diminish slightly. Just as he thought about how fortunate he was for his ears, they picked up on something strange. He turned his head towards a wall and saw nothing. He looked towards the other wall and still, nothing. The fanalis narrowed his eyes and a low growl emitted from his chest. The sound was soft and a very low frequency, so he knew he wouldn't disturb the officials or his Emperor. Bahir went back to looking forward, the sound had stopped almost immediately, but he didn't pay any attention to it.
A few moments passed by when he heard the soft opening of one of the windows. Bahir turned to see the window barely closing and his eyes widened. Dammit! The fanalis took no time going to the window and, lo and behold, he saw someone jumping to the next building. Without thinking, Bahir jumped out of the window in pursuit. The person landed and began running with Bahir two seconds after him or her.
Bahir was surprised with how quickly this person was moving. The fanalis still had caught up to the person, even with his race's aptitude towards being one of the fastest in the land. Could... could this person be a fanalis as well?! Why would they turn on the Emperor when he has access to the Fanalis Corps?! The thought of another fanalis being the spy angered our young assassin. He pushed himself to run harder, to catch up with the person, but to no avail.
Just as he was about to close in on the person, the other spy dropped down of the buildings. Bahir, accidentally, jumped over the alley in which the person dropped down. While in the air, Bahir looked down at the alley to try and see which way the assailant was going to go. how does this person know Remano so well?! Have they been here for that long?! Having seen which way the spy was going, Bahir immediately launched himself off of the building in that direction.
When he landed on the ground he saw the back of his prey run directly into a large group of people. "GRAWR DAMMIT!" Bahir grinned after his exclamation of frustration. He intentionally made it seem like he was going to give up, instead he found his way back to the roof tops. He stood at the top of one for a moment, looking for the features of his target. THERE! Just as he spotted the person, they were taking off items of clothing to try and ensure their escape. Too slow. He thought to himself as he used his explosive first step and instantly gave chase from the rooftops.
Bahir followed the spy all the way to the gates of Remano. What do you think you're doing...? Are you already reporting back? Hmph. Bahir stood on top of one of the watch posts at the gates of Remano as he began to change his appearance. Using The Disguise, the fanalis had become a tan, brown-eyed man with dark brown dreads. He also abandoned his clothing from Balbadd and donned the wardrobe of a Remano citizen. He moved down from his spot and began to trail the disguised spy. It looked as though he was being led to the Western front...
