lina didn't care that she had left the bakery without a word. She didn't care about the strange glances the townspeople gave her as she ran past. She even didn't care about the guards standing by the Adventurers Guild entrance door, instead nimbly bypassing them and rushing inside.
"Miss, the Guild is closed right now. Could you please leave?" The receptionist, a tall woman with distinctly short brown hair, stood up from behind the counter with the clear intention of guiding lina out.
"Where is Lord Sinclair?!" lina demanded in such a firm voice that the woman flinched back. They stared each other down, lina's ragged breaths the only noise around them. Sweat was dripping down from her temples, but she didn't even notice it. She only cared for one thing at that mont. "Where is he?"
"I'm afraid I can't divulge that information." The woman shifted uncomfortably, but then a group of people erged from a nearby room, Remi and the Guildmaster among them.
"What's the ruckus about? I thought I said nobody is to be allowed in while—" the Guildmaster stopped mid-sentence when she noticed lina.

Alright, I've imbued this tart with as much intention of calming the guardian as possible. The sll alone should be enough to settle it. Although I get a distinct feeling that the guardian isn't going to be my main problem. Sothing must be wrong with the passageway.
lina put the tart into the box and then slid it into her bag. "We're going for a midnight stroll, Sienna."
Sienna released a happy chitter, and they left the bakery quietly, the darkness covering their escape.
