Shoan was half way out his cell door as Enzeru walked in, closing the door behind him with one hand and putting his lock picking equipment back in his pocket with the other. Five of the six guards had left and the one that was stubborn enough to stay behind sat unconscious leaning against the cell wall. Shoan looked like a kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar. After only a second he regained his composure and a sheepish grin spread across his face.
"Heh. This was a new speed record for me. Unfortunate that you came back here. Why return so soon? I'm sure the Emperor would have scheduled my execution for at least the next day."
He leaned against the cell wall as he spoke, like he was talking to an old friend. His arms were folded confidently across his chest, but he made sure he had placed himself within reaching distance of his weapon.
