"Then stop playing games," The investigator snapped, taking a step towards Thomas even as he walked towards her. The leery grin of the man at the wall told her what she needed to know, especially after the requests he'd made. The palace guard had known about their entrance of palace grounds early, the Order disjointed and acting on its own. Whether it was Sir Thomas or someone else, there were people that didn't want her leaving the tower. Whether it was due to death or detainment, made no difference to her. It had been a mistake to come alone and assume she could handle the talking. "I'm helping you, and I've explained everything. If you can't sit and listen, I am going to leave. I want to take the writs with me, then." She announced her intentions clearly, standing idle and waiting for how measured the knight's response would be. Walking out unopposed was unlikely, considering the man seemed to be willfully ignoring any attempt at parley. The rules were the rules, however, and she could not draw blood here.
