Time Warp tiptoed as quietly as he could as he tried to sneak out of his apartment. He would have teleported out, but the noise would alert everyone nearby.

“What if Guardian Delle’s Sword tries to attack ya while ya on yer own?”

“I am not an idiot, Dirk,” the vuoto snarled, “If they are more than a match, I will call one of you on my telewand,”

“How will ya know they are? When ya are almost dead?”
