The tap was the go signal he needed, mapping the locale to his head as he crept along the shadows of the wall. So far, no tengu in sight which told him they were all either relaxing or on the opposite side. It mattered little in this regard while Bishop led Tenshi across the yard while keeping to the shadows.
He signaled to stop when they approached the first open area, a good three to five meters of open garden right before them. To their left was the home, built like a traditional house so there was space under it for them to squeeze through. The choice was obvious. He lay prone on the ground and then rolled to until he was under the walkway although he quickly signaled for her to stop, duck and remain quiet. Two, he gestured and soon enough the panel right above him opened and couple of tengu stepped out.
"Sheesh, why do we get the night watch?" "Quit complaining already. It's an easy job, just watch the cash, the stardust, and the grounds. That's it. What's there to dislike?" "For one, I could be playing with the Tamamo girls, there's a cutie there I really like~ She's not like the other girls, she's a lost soul and a real looker~ Her name is Monts and-" "Enough, you can play tomorrow. There's only a few of us here so we can relax at least." "But-" "Enough! Keep whining and I'll tear your beak off!"
The two continued to bicker as their voices faded before giving her the all clear signal to come over where he was.
"Did you hear that? We're in luck." Very much so, and he won't waste this time as he crawled under the walkway to guide him around the perimeter until they're able to spot a storehouse from their vantage. A guarded and locked storehouse.
