Elsewhere, the rat and it's riders neared their destination. Realizing that the rat would soon be climbing vertically, Diego and Calm held on tightly to its ragged fur. As if on cue, the Rat reached the edge of the giant's bed and scurried up the sheets.
Although prepared, Diego's grip simply wasn't strong enough. His heart fell as he felt himself slip, and time felt like it was still as he began to fall.
Suddenly, time caught up with him, as Calm caught his shirt. Relief flooded Diego, and he did his best to grip the rat again as the rodent leveled out on top of the bed.
Rolling off the side, Diego landed softly on the matress, trying to make his heartrate return to normal.
"Thanks," he gasped, breathlessly.

"You're welcome." Calm said flatly. He paused, looking over at the giant. Even at a distance, the man seemed huge. All Calm could see was the giant's greased hair. It smelled bad. He turned back to Diego. "Don't die just yet. I thought you said you wanted to get out? It would be a waste to die here." [/background:363stu3f]
"Yeah... You're right. I have things I still need to do, anyway..."
Diego turned away from Calm, worried that he was on to him. Calm's tone had been so flat, so certain, yet his words had been ambiguous. Was he serious about seeking the 'god,' or did he know the truth, and was just playing around?
Diego calmed down, as he realized the point was moot. It didn't matter which it was, as long as Calm followed him a little longer. Soon, it would be too late for Calm to realize he was absolutely his enemy...
Diego remembered that the rat was still there. He wanted nothing to do with it anymore, because it was possible the lich had some spying spell. And, to be frank, it unnerved him.
"Let's ditch the rat. It might be too noisy. We'll be quieter on foot, and it's not that far, now."
It really wasn't too far. That meant Diego would have to act soon. Mentally, he ran through his course of action. He'd get behind Calm, somehow. He'd form the drill quietly. He'd reach around Calm's neck with his off hand and simultaniously send the drill in. He repeated the method to himself over and over, projecting it as the future.
