Damn, Diego thought. He hoped nobody would catch his error. In his haste, he had almost forgotten about waking the Giant, and had corrected it with a last minute muffling.
Now, Konka was getting more suspicious of him- that wasn't good. Diego cursed his failing. It had always been so easy to weasel into people's trust- but here, everything he tried was met with unadulterated doubt. He didn't even have time, time to ingratiate himself more fluidly...
No, Diego assured himself. He hadn't done anything wrong- the haste of his actions were required. All that could be done was accept the mistrust and operate regardless.
"I'm going to kill that giant, then."
Diego wore a dark expression, the grim face of a man who needed to kill but was unwilling. It was fake, but still convincing.
Diego turned to Konka. The lich was getting too suspicious- at any given moment, it seemed the lich would see through his game, and that would be the end of the legend of the Earworm Killer. Diego needed to get away from the walking corpse, closer to someone who would more easily trust, or at least believe him.
"I'll be going then."
Diego turned and ran towards the bed at the end of the room.
"Stop," the Lich predictibly called out. "I'll... Help you. Yes... I'll send this one with you."
The Lich gave Diego a toothy grin, and motioned with his head for the rat to go forward, to Diego. Uneasily, Diego watched thehulking rat as it came closer. Slowly, the dead rat leaned forward, as if to sniff Diego. Then, with suprising speed, it lunged and bit Diego's coat. Surprised, Diego struggled. Ignoring the man's plight, the Rat lifted Diego and tossed him onto it's back. Dazed, Diego shot a glare at Konka. The Lich smiled.
"Yes, ride the Rat. It will be a great deal faster that way..."
