Once they were in the gardens Fidel seemed to work it out. He relaxed, disguising it as giving up as he hung his head. Or maybe he wasn't disguising it as anything. Megara couldn't tell.
Either way, Megara looked around. No other guards, no servants, no one to see them. She hid a smirk with her bowed head.
Suddenly, she threw her weight backward and made quick work of the guard, cutting the wires in its neck with the knife she'd hidden away under the uniform. She then looked over to see that Fidel's captor was entangled in grass, the stuff appearing to have grown straight up between its paneling and into every cog, wire, and piston that it needed to function.
She blinked. So he can do that, apparently. She had to stop underestimating the abilities of the mer.
