Envy had no time to waste with Gluttony questioning her plan. She'd been on the streets long enough to have observed children and knew that they would follow the word of someone they trusted. If the nanny wouldn't cooperate, well they could do away with her then. The slamming door sent splinters forward, and backwards, the blast incredibly loud. Envy had sidestepped behind Gluttony to prevent them from hitting her. Then she took lead instead of allowing the beast of a sin to do so.
Stepping in front of Miss. Higgs she'd yet to say anything more than she had outside. She reached forward to grab the broom. Whether it was swinging at her or not her coordination was enough to stop it mid swing and her strength was enough to keep it there. That was when she finally spoke, "We're here to get them out of this city. It's not safe," she would say lowering the broom before both of them to waist height and horizontal to the ground, "This home is not safe."
Whatever tactic that Envy was up to it seemed different than the original plan but while she was not emotional about it she could be logical and she'd observed the emotions of others to have a good idea on their reaction.

The matronly woman scowls as Envy grabs the broom trying to wrest it from the other woman's grasp. It was a futile effort, of course, Miss Higgs was a woman bordering on elderly against a woman with strength beyond mortal ken. "I don't know you." She says as she struggles. "And the High Marshal introduced me to all the guards. He certainly wouldn't have sent anyone who would batter down our door like that!" She exclaims. "Scaring the children half to death!"
As though in defiance of this two of the kids get up and charge Envy. They were boys who looked similar enough to be twins, though all six of the children were technically sextuplets, either way, they had matching brown hair capped with furry cat ears and a long cat-like tail like their siblings. They looked to be in their eighth year, perhaps a shade younger and they cry out as they slam their fists futilely against Envy's legs.
"You leave our nanny alone!" They cry out. The other children were hanging back. Three girls and one boy. One of the girls had brown hair and golden eyes, looking a bit like the images Envy had seen of the empress, she glares at the two members of the set hotly her eyes unnaturally cold and calculating for a child her age. The rest of the children had blue hair, the boy seemed to be the smallest and he was clutching a large stuffed dragon doll. One of the blue-haired girls had her arms wrapped around the boy, the other was looking defiantly at the two members of the set even though her lip was trembling in fear.

Envy almost snarled at the children but it would be futile against her original plan. The nanny was insistent and she knew that it had been but a faint hope that this would work to start. Therefore she had no issues in dismissing it rather quickly. Wresting the broom from her fingertips she would use it to fend off one of the boys holding it only with her left hand while she attempted to pick up the other by the back of his shirt. Holding him up to look at him properly she met him without emotion in her face just looking back at the little brown haired minion that was her nephew.
Lowering him slowly she looked to Miss. Higgs, "There was little time," she finally said. She'd not harmed anyone. Yet.
Frankly the possibility was still there but she was not quite yet at that point and if she harmed anyone it would be the nanny first and harming a frail old woman hardly seemed fair. She had some semblance of right and wrong even if she could ignore it at any moment and decided to go off the deep end.
"Either you come, quietly, and quickly, or I will make sure that I have no reason to worry about your compliance." The threat was clear.

The woman hesitates for a moment, clearly not sure what to do, clearly knowing that there was nothing but ill-will coming from the two warriors in black armour. Just the way she was handling the children said as much. She opens her mouth to say something but Gluttony suddenly steps forward and rams her gauntleted fist into Miss Higg's chest. There is a loud crack of bone as the old woman drops dead choking on her own blood.
"That was pointless. A rope will do just as well."
The other woman says as she holds up a loop of it and quickly starts binding the wrists of the now screaming children. Gluttony doesn't seem to care one whit about the noise as she gets the children under control. One of them tries to run and she simply sweeps the legs out from under the girl sending her crashing painfully to the ground. Unlike Envy Gluttony had taken her full dosage and felt absolutely nothing about terrorizing the children or killing the old woman. They had a job and delaying just put success in jeopardy.

Envy looked down to the elderly woman who was now gurgling on her own blood copious amounts of it pouring from her mouth as she aspirated it and drowned in her own fluids. He'd broken her Aorta but crushed her trachea and esophagus together causing tears everywhere. Her heart had held on only long enough for her to fall and feel a sense of doom before her last breath was drawn.
Standing over the woman she felt, uncertain, not quite guilty and not quite upset, just uncertain. Then she was helping Gluttony while telling her, "Don't harm them, If they are to be used they should arrive in good shape."
Was that for her own conscience? Or was it orders. There was really no telling but she had barked out the order convincingly enough as she tied up the children. Their screaming tore through her ears and she would hiss at them, "Be silent or else I'll make you be so."

"Just gag them."
Gluttony says the other woman lets out a snort of irritation as she rips strips of cloth from the clothing of the now, quite dead, Miss Higgs. Using it to gag the children while Envy binds their hands together turning them into a line. It wouldn't really be an issue it was strong rope they could literally just drag the kids through the street with it.
Once they had things sorted Gluttony looks over at Envy. "I'll take point and keep the way clear. You take the kids. Let's get them to the safehouse." They had two outside of the city on opposite sides. One for the kids, one for the empress. Places to hole up while they waited for faster transportation to be arranged.

Pulling their wrists together she chose to bind them in the front instead of behind. Children tended to touch their faces and wiggle and if she did not have to drag them she would not. It would allow them to wipe their own tears but the gags were tied around the back of their face. They might tug at them but they would not loosen enough to get them out of their mouths. A hint of a frown decorated her features but she hid it a second later as she lined them up preparing to take them into the city.
"Taking all the fun for yourself as always Gluttony?" Really they did not experience joy in their work. It was simply work to them, assigned, accepted, and taken in stride as they moved forward.
Envy gave the children a tug pulling them along. All but the youngest could walk easily and she was certain the elders would care for that one enough to keep it from dragging along the ground.
