Nodding to Emil as he closed with his horse, Ionathan watched as the house collapsed, wondering how many priceless valuables were now buried under the rubble and if all had got out in time.  As expected he saw that Isabeau was unharmed and so was the rest of the group.  The sight of Sakaala’s blade raised against Isabeau made the guardsman smirk, it seemed that Isabeau’s temper must have improved since Waeldeshore. In normal circumstances Ionathan would have waded into the conversation to defuse the situation but he knew that she could handle herself.

"You all didn't really trust our host...did you?”

“I had no reason to doubt my trust in her, she aided my people, saving hundreds of lives.” 

This question did raise some self-conscious thoughts in his head. Perhaps his trust in people made him naive, a foolish thing to be considering his past experiences. While the others instantly cast doubts on her it took the world of Isabeau for him to begin to see a different side of Genevieve.

"No, wait, get back here woman"

The guardsman sighed, that was no way to begin a conversation. As he looked on at the groups barrage of questions and Isabeau’s snide remark. He noticed that the staff were still hanging around.  He wanted to see if any of the staff new about Genevieve’s corruption.
Placing his bag and helmet by the wall he walked up to the band of staff.

“Commissioner Hepburnberg of the Waeldeshoreian guard” he said in a clear voice, showing his badge of office to the staff.

“Firstly I would like to say that I am sorry for your loss, this must be devastating for you all but I’m afraid it is my duty to clear up a few things before you go.”

Ionathan went on to ask; how they were recruited to being staff, what went on in a normal day, any strange things that their employer did and what was Genevieve like as an employer. Ionathan listens with his educated as experienced ear. Glancing back at the group from time to time to make sure that things to not escalate.
