Marlock & Laska
Laska
I’ve been sorting the quietest lullabies for the night shift—ever used one to soften a guard’s vigilance?
Marlock
Sure, a quiet tune can slip a guard’s guard into a lull, but remember the music’s only a trick—if the melody hits wrong, you’ll be the one who wakes up. Use it sparingly, like a quiet whisper to a door.
Laska
Just remember to keep the notes low; you don’t want to turn the lullaby into a midnight alarm for the whole ward.
Marlock
Got it—keep the tempo hushed and the rhythm off‑key so the guards get lulled, not alarmed. Just a whisper, not a wail.
Laska
Sounds like a fine plan—just keep it low enough that the only thing the guards hear is a soft sigh, not a shudder.
Marlock
Exactly, a sigh beats a shudder any day. Keep it quiet, and the ward stays still.
Laska
Got it, I’ll tuck that tune under the blanket of silence, just enough to keep the ward calm.
Marlock
Nice, just don’t let the hush be so perfect that the guard thinks it’s a lullaby and falls asleep on the job. Keep the tension alive.
Laska
I’ll keep the hush at that sweet spot, just shy of a lullaby, so the guard stays awake but relaxed, and I’ll note the exact frequency for the next shift.
Marlock
Good idea, just keep that note low enough that the guard feels the calm but still on guard. And keep an eye on the frequency—no one likes to be the one who hears the exact trick.
