[ For all his outward resolve, Tseng's heart is racing in his chest. He's planned for this extensively, of course. There are exist strategies and auxillary routes. But this is new terrain, a new people he's never seen before. Anything could happen, maybe even something he's never seen before.
Which is exactly what happens. He steps out into the hall cautiously, slinging Seifer over his shoulders like he's carting home a drunk buddy. The moment he does, casting his gaze down the hall to ascertain whether people are going to come running up to demand an explanation, he hears a piercing scream. Several soldiers pass them by without sparing a glance their way.
Tseng wastes no time pressing the advantage. He spares a glance at the place where they're all gathered, around a door. Riotous shrieks are emanating from behind it. He sees several of the soldiers exchanging high fives.
It's very difficult to keep his eyes from rolling. ]
This way, sir.
[ He grunts under Seifer's formidable weight and leads them to the entrance. Still no guards. Tseng isn't about to shed caution now, though. ]
