You hesitantly flicked the lever down, and proceeded to hear a cracking sound behind you.

"oh— guess that did do something." You muttered, I wasn't expecting anything to happen to be honest.

You turned around to see a small crevice in the marble wall, just big enough to fit the average skinny man through it. "Who's going to go first?"

"Who do you thinks going to go first?" Scaramouche replied, somewhat smugly.

"...me." You said, almost sighing before rethinking and just settling for looking away awkwardly.

"..thats cute. you think that you deserve to be ahead of me." He said, crossing his arms with a smirk

you did a double take and almost scoffed at his childish antics.
um!!! Sir, you were acting like I was going to go in that stinky hole first!!!! So obviously I would assume that I was going in first!!! It's not rocket science!!! Put the god complex away please!!!

you winced internally as you realized what you had just thought.

oh my archons if he was a mind reader I would be dead meat right now. sorry, potential mind reader Scaramouche, that was my inner demons!!

"my apologies, my lord. I don't think that I deserve to go in front of you at all."

"that's better."

this is SUCH a elementary school thing. 6th harbinger who? all I know is pouty 11 year old boy!

Oh dear, WHAT had come over you today??

Scaramouche didn't say anything else and just turned around and ducked into the crack, you followed suite and were met with a wall of stink.

"Uh, pardon me my lord... is it just me or does it smell like blood in here?" You said, sniffing the air again to confirm, it did indeed smell like crusty old blood.

"Hm, you finally noticed?" Scaramouche said, acting like it was completely normal. This probably is normal for him, finding a cave that smells like blood probably isn't even on the top 100 weirdest things Harbingers have to do for their job.

"Yeah. Why does it even smell like—wait no, stupid question, it smells like blood because.." You looked around the blank walls and then over at Scaramouche, whose face was hidden underneath his big ass hat. "I had a reason, but I forgot it."

Scaramouche scoffed, and lifted his hat so that he could glare at you in all your stupidity, or something like that. (You assumed it wasn't because he wanted to lovingly correct all your mistakes)

"Use your brain for once," Scaramouche said, adjusting his hat as he spoke. "'Why does it smell like blood?' ...such a pointless question."

"Sorry, my lord. I'm assuming someone died." You said, cringing at yourself. wow, what an amazing observation y/n!! I'm in awe!!!
"they would've had to have died by a stab wound or something... maybe someone got to lichung before we did." You muttered under your breath. "Or hey, maybe he dismembered himself of something fun like that."
