While waiting for Kurokono to reply, Alexander saw a glow out of the corner of his eye; blue and faint and not blinding, in fact, the light was soft and comfortable. He would then say to the 'Ronin':

"Hold on a bit, I'll be right back. I hope I'm not being rude," the boy was aware that he was. Nevertheless, this time, he knew that it was at least because someone needed help; one of the blue glows was closer to the ground than normal; did the person emitting it fall down?

Taking his rucksack (after all, caution must be exercised) and running outside past Sean, Blanc, and Atisha, the boy saw the two latent Magi, nekomimi whose facial resemblance to each other implied a familial connection - perhaps sisters? Walking towards them so as not to alarm the two obviously starved and scared people, Alexander would extend a hand to help Eli, saying:

"It's all right, I'm here to help." He would then, if they allowed, guide the two to the tavern, where he would sit them near his own table, giving them a share of his own food and water, again, if they were willing.

Nevertheless, whether they stayed outside the tavern or entered the building, Alexander would then ask:

"You two look like you're in some trouble. Mind telling me what happened?"

"He fought Nick?" Myst asked, his curiosity piqued and warring with his...desires. "Tell me, tell me about the fight - you must have seen that fight!" His blunted knife was still at the hem of Hamaguchi's chest wrap, but it was held more weakly than before. 

Then, one of his mercenaries ran in, bearing an urgent message. Myst was annoyed by the interruption, but still had enough pragmatism to respect the bearers of news, good and bad. He would ask:

"What is it? And let's go to a place the girl won't overhear." He would then withdraw the knife, and, as a nod to caution, would draw some sleeping powder, conjure a globe of water, mix the powder into the globe, turning it transparent and cloudy, and then force-feed it to Hamaguchi; he didn't know she had Water Magic as well, and so can counteract the effects of the drug...

Then, he would go to a seperate room with the mercenary, and wait for the messenger to say something.

"The casino!" the merc finally said. "A rival crime family is trying to bribe our frontman to defect! They don't know about our 'side business' yet, but if the frontman yields, it can mean the end of everything!"

"I see," Myst said. "This is something that would require a personal meeting to stiffen his resolve. But begin scouting out new frontmen anyway..."
