110 Residential Area

Reima "Stay here while I deal with them, I doubt your dress would block something that pierces dragon scales."

She nods as she watches Reima peek his head from the pillar they were hiding behind, she hears a loud tw.a.n.g and then BANG! A almost spear length arrow is piercing where Reima's head was previously. He laughs nervously at this ridiculous accuracy, "Err yeah, don't stick your head out under any circ.u.mstances."

After giving a final warning Reima dives out from cover and starts sprinting up the walkway, unlike in the game where the knights just shoot your current location, these guys prodict your movement. Reima has to dodge and weave while focusing entirely on Observation Haki to avoid being speared. When he eventually reaches the end of the walkway and steps onto the ledge where the knights are located he has to do short blinks to dodge the point blank shots. One of the arrows shot from behind Reima actually hits the knight in front of him, piercing it's chest and throwing it from the ledge and into the abyss. After having one killed by friendly fire Reima finds it relatively easy to approach the seemingly uncaring knight, he pushes the bow so it stops pointing at him before kicking it off the ledge. Afterwards he looks around to make sure no threats remain, "Priscilla! Its clear!" He shouts in her direction, she cautiously makes her way up the walk way and wobbles a bit on the ledge... Is she afraid of heights? She didn't seem to be when she jumped off a cliff...

They trail round the palace wall until they spot a balcony below them, dropping down they find that the door is a Fog-gate. Reima remembers that this leads inside of the residential area of the palace, it contains the bedrooms and spiralling staircases that eventually lead to Ornstein and Smough, then Gwenevere. He steps through and looks to the first door on the left, that should be the bonfire and where Solaire is resting in the game... He walks up and open it, peeking through he looks around and doesn't spot Solaire anywhere. Reima sighs, not knowing where on earth Solaire might be... Well, if life gives you lemons, you steal all their furniture... After he lights the bonfire he begins storing all the fine tables and chairs in the room.

Priscilla "Are thy sure thee shouldst be stealing?" She says confused, why would Reima need so much furniture?

Reima "Well, one man's trash is another man's treasure. The G.o.ds have abandoned these lands, why leave the riches they couldn't carry in their dash to escape?"

Priscilla nods, "I supposeth thee is correct." She says while fingering a silver goblet.

They both rest at the bonfire for a while, Reima decides to use his loose souls to upgrade his intelligence to a higher degree, he puts most of his souls into it and manages to get it's level to 80? He's kind of under due to the vague feeling of "fullness", if he had a status board it would be so much easier.

Reima "I hope you don't mind but there is one thing I must do while we're here."

Priscilla leans her head to the side, curious in his sudden task. "What might that be?"

Reima grins "There is some armour made from your ancestors scales."

She fingers the scales on her face, "Dost they maketh good armour?"

Reima shakes hi head, "Not scales like yours, thick scales from the giants beasts that spew fire... Your father is unique in that he doesn't have any scales."

Priscilla "Thou knoweth mine Father?"

He nods, "I do, he's sequestered himself away in his laboratory doing horrible experiments on innocents. His goal? To acquire the scales his brothers had."

She looks down, saddened that both her parents turned out to be horrible individuals.

Reima "I will have to slay Seath, your father eventually. Do you want to a.s.sist in such a task?"

Priscilla looks into his eyes, green meets green as she ponders. "Kin slaying is not frowned upon now-days?"

Reima shakes his head, "I'm not an expert on it but, regardless of your blood ties with someone, if they're evil then they must be vanquished."

She nods, taking in her "Mentors" words seriously. "I shall thinketh on this topic further."

After an hour or two of warming themselves by the bonfire they start sweeping through the halls and rooms of the residential areas. The silver knights are usually alone which results in easy kills or Reima having Priscilla fight them to gain experience. He makes sure to check every fireplace for illusions, he knows Havel's armour is located behind one and will not miss what is likely to be the best armour from this world.

After an hour of wondering the halls and clearing out silver knights, stealing furniture and opening chests. Reima finds a room containing many scrolls, some are blank but some are plans for additional architecture to the city. Realising most of the important building are located on these pieces of parchment he starts doggedly going through them, he would get Priscilla to help but she can't read English, or common speech as she calls it. After going through three boxes he finally finds what he's looking for, he slams the parchment on a spare table before spreading it out. The top of the parchment in bold letters states "Imperial bank of Anor Londo", Reima can't hold his smile back any longer and starts laughing. Priscilla see's his peculiar reaction and tries to snap him out of it by nudging his shoulder, shes confused as he finds herself in his arms and dancing around the room... Finding nothing wrong with this she starts trying to perform the only dance she was taught, the waltz... Obviously Reima is unaware of her intentions and just continues twirling her around until he calms down.
