[That's reassuring to hear, even if Lance can't bring himself to reply with a thanks or we got this because he doesn't trust himself to talk just this second. He might've boasted like crazy about being the grandmaster of stealth, but he's just so painfully aware that he's just not that great at keeping a low profile.
A guard snaps their face towards them, ears sharp as it catches this disembodied whispering, fixing both of them with a cold, inhuman stare. Lance stops breathing entirely, suddenly afraid that even that might attract more attention. His hand tightens around Shiro's human one, both wanting to comfort and to be comforted. The moment passes as the guard turns away from the wall, but there's a bead of cold sweat trickling down Lance's forehead.
Their next victim lets out a sob as she's hauled up onto her feet. Wild-eyed and desperate, she digs her fingers into the crevices between the stone walls, screaming as she's ripped away by the chains. The next few seconds pass in the blink of an eye, yet Lance sees it all like it's in stroboscopic motion. As the prisoner whirls on her heel, the momentum carries her directly towards the wall where he and Shiro are hiding in plain sight.
They're only invisible, they're not intangible and the guards are definitely going to notice if the woman crashes into something that's not there.
We have to move!
Grabbing Shiro's arm, he tugs as hard as he can, trying to get them both headed towards the door before anything else can happen.[
