"I'll silence us both now. If you need to talk just catch my attention and mouth that to me. I can read lips."

Meld nodded her head, curt and businesslike. Altough not terrible when it came to stealth, it had never been her strongest skill. Average, much to her dislike, was what her stealth skills would be considered and she hated being average at anything. The problem had a lot to do with the fact that it was difficult to walk in absolute silence on hard wood floor or clay tiles when one had titanium talons instead of feet that could fit into leather or rubber shoes. Of course, given the nature of her mutation it would certainly be possible to change around her flesh melds in order to maximize her stealth but that would be at the expense of her lethality and it was her lethality that was her true gift.

It was a unique experience to be able to walk and move in complete silence. Instead of her taloned feet clicking lightly on the concrete with every step, instead there was absolutely nothing. A useful power indeed and Meld couldn't help but think that it was a shame that she didn't have time to study it further. Was it truly complete silence? If there was, for example, a car accident or an explosion, would it be sufficient to silence that as well? Of course she was well aware of the fact that they simply did not have the time to experiment or even to ask too many questions at that moment, but if things went well perhapsshe would have the opportunity later.

As Meld approached the nearest window, she kept her tail swivelling and the eye at the end blinking in time with her human eyes. Mute had taken care of the stealth aspect, it would be up to her to ensure that no one managed to sneak up on the two of them just as they were trying to sneak up on their enemies. Nothing seemed amis, however and she stopped in front of the window, ducking and waiting to get her partner's attention. Her tail eye rose and blinked, granting her a snapshot of the inside of the house. No one was in view.

Once Meld was certain that she hadher partner's attention, she gestured to the window, indicating her intention to smash it. A moment later her titanium tail lashed out, lethal blades colliding with brittle glass that shattered in all directions. It was one of the most surreal experiences of her life, seeing the glass shatter and yet not hearing a sound of its occurance. One more swivel of her tail to ensure that they hadn't attracted any unwanted attention and she cleared the remaining shards of glass from the window before gesturing for Mute to climb through.

A curt nod and it was business time. Cosmina kept her eyes on her environment as she effortless supported the two silences. This much was nothing. The downside of her power of course being that they couldn't hear their surroundings. Hence why Cosmina's eyes darted about constantly. They did not need to be seen. Very shortly they were at the side of the house. Cosmina had noticed Meld's tail waving about as though performing surveillance for them. Perhaps the red gem served as a form of camera or eye? That was how Meld seemed to be treating it.

Meld indicated that she was going to smash the window so they could get in. It was simple enough to form another bubble around the window. Cosmina kept the silencing bubble around the window after Meld's tail lashed out and shattered it. It wouldn't do to be undone by the tiny bit of noise made by Meld clearing the window of glass so they could enter the home. Cosmina moved underneath the window and climbed in. The corridor was empty for the moment. With a deep breath Cosmina lowered her own bubble so that she could listen.

Sound came rushing back into her world. A tv in another room was on and Cosmina heard voices coming from the same direction. The sound of a refrigerator door opening and closing also seemed to indicate someone in the kitchen. With that information Cosmina raised her own silencing once more and moved aside for Meld to enter. When the woman was inside Cosmina gestured in the direction she'd heard the tv and indicated that there were multiple targets that way. Then she pointed in the other direction toward what she assumed was the kitchen and indicated the single target there.
