"I say that my hours as a regent are few, and before the veil of obscurity is thrown over this whole sordid affair by the Thistle Knights, I want to give the people the [i]truth[/i] behind what happened here." Wallace said, stopping to smirk at the melodrama of it all before taking a seat at the table. His demeanor relaxed as he was seated, and as he moved to the actual topic at hand the man rested folded hands on the table. "I hear a lot of things about people, but more often than not rumors are just that. As I said last night, for what little any of us have, you likely know the most about what [i]they[/i] were up to. I mean, of course, being one of the few in proximity to Karl Leid." That wasn't entirely what he was concerned with, Gareth had also seen both him and Leid speak to Lexine. "I will warn you right now to be cautious of people and groups suddenly taking interest in you, and with that said," He chuckled, "I have taken interest in you. I fear I won't be questioning you about Karl as I said, instead I would like to ask your help. With the guard mobilized to keep the city in standstill, among other things, I'm short of hands with the minds to find answers."
