"Yeah..." Cedric said. "I sure hope we won't get lost. Well, you know the place and I know the bookstore, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem."
And so they moved on.
[Exit: Lord Cedric and Elyon to Ye Olde Bookshop (what the hell is wrong with this name I'll never know)]

[Enter: Lord Cedric from his bookshop]
Back on the streets again. Cedric found a bench nearby and sat down. He needed to come up with a new plan, now that he had a time limit. So, not only does he have to use Matt's body to get rid of Will, but he also has to do that without Elyon. Great. Just perfect. A source of unbelievable power and he couldn't even use it. All because of... Cedric didn't know why. Well, he wasn't planning to get used to using Elyon's power anyway. It will be just like always, Cedric alone against whatever he and Phobos wants dead. So he had about 40 minutes, maybe even less. "Okay, the good things." Cedric mumbled. "I have a lot of power. The bad - My only companion is too tired to destroy her most hated enemies, I don't have enough time to deal with everything, I can't let Elyon find out about my plans, I have no clue where the guardians are and I have no clue where to start looking. Chance of completing the task successfully..." He didn't want to answer that. If there is little hope, it's best not to think about it. Finding the guardians would have been much easier if he could change back into the snake form, empowering his senses. But the risk of getting detected was way too great. Cedric didn't want half of this idiotic city chasing after him. So instead of using senses, he had to use his mind. "Works for me." Cedric shrugged. It was getting late. So no point in looking for the guardians at school. So there was only one place left. "Whoah, that was a difficult task." Cedric smiled. But wait. Did he really have to start with Will? Surely, wiping her out first would be a good start and would ensure an easy victory. Besides, he had Matt's form. But what if Will's not at home? What then? Cedric had to do something in these 40 minutes. "For instance, get going." He said and stood up. He'll think of a plan B on the way.
[Exit: Lord Cedric to Will's front yard]

[Enter: lord Cedric and Will from Will's front yard]
"By the way, are you hungry?" Cedric asked randomly. "We could buy something on the way." Well, he did promise Elyon to buy some food, so it was a good idea. Besides, if the two of them would walk past the bookshop and Elyon would see them.. Well. that could certainly would make things easier.

"Oh I don't know," Will said sort of shyly. "I'm not sure if my mother is cooking or not."
*Will trailed off*
"I could go with you if you are hungry though. I mean we do have tomorrow night."

What? Cedric didn't understand. "No, that's okay, I just thought that you might be hungry - after all, it's been a long day. And since I was so unkind to drag you from home, I have to take care of you." He then laughed. "I'm sorry, it probably sounded motherly."

Will smiled "Oh not at all."
*She fumbled for her phone in her pocket and started typing into it. She would just send a text to her mom that she was picking up some dinner for her too then*
"Okay, if you want to go eat so badly then I'll just bring Mom some food on the way back."

"You seem to care about her a lot." Matt-Cedric noticed. "Do you... love her?" Do you love her enough for me to consider capturing her an option if somehow I'll fail to get rid of you now? But hey, don't answer that.

*Will laughed*
"Of course I do, she's my mother. I won't lie in saying that we have issues but still...ever since dad left she's my only family, well and then you helped me get Dormouse so now it's the three of us," Will said happily.
"That's a strange question though. Do you not get along with your mom?"

"It's not exactly like that, but everyone in our family is rather... distant. I rarely get to talk with my mom. i suppose I love her, but it's only because she's my mom, not because we share something... special." Cedric-Matt tried to look a bit sad while saying that.

"Oh, I'm really sorry," Will said sadly. She stayed silent for a moment. "I don't think you really think that though. Or maybe you think that now but it might change later"

"I hope." Cedric nodded. "It would be great if my mom would at least show that she cares." He looked at the evening sky for a moment and said. "But let's not talk about that. I don't want to push my problems on you." Cedric was starting to wonder if this small talk will do him any good. Time was running short.

"Oh that's okay. It's no bother to me, really. But perhaps you're right."
*They kept walking*
"So what did you want to eat. Is your mom what you wanted to talk about?"

"I didn't want to talk about anything." Cedric said. "Or maybe about everything. You know, sometimes it really doesn't matter to me. When I want to see someone, I don't really feel a need to talk with that someone." He desperately searched his (Matt's) pocket's, hoping to find some money there. How was he supposed to pay for the food anyway? By borrowing money from Will? Yeah, good plan. "Then again." Cedric added, still not losing hope. "I suppose just walking would be kind of boring."

*Will nodded*
"Sometimes walking in silence can clear your head but sometimes I guess you just need company to get yourself together."
*Will looked again at Matt. He seemed so strange right now, like a different person. Or maybe he really was feeling so lost and confused about something that he wasn't acting normally?*

Cedric once again cursed the insensitivity of human bodies. If he was still in his, he would have been able to feel Will's emotions. Now he could only observe and guess. Perhaps he wasn't talking casually enough. Will didn't seem completely relaxed. But what could he do? Cedric didn't even know enough about Matt to come up with enough random things to talk about. Time for plan B. "Will." He said seriously. Since it was late and there were less people in the streets."The night is so romantic... isn't it?"
