Thomas listened intently to the investigator's words, keeping his surprise to himself, "Very well. You're from Arcartus and you've intruded upon foreign soil, and broke into foreign property," In conjunction with Thomas' words, the six knights entered the room, already armed, "And as such, I hereby placed you under formal arrest, in the name of my King Bard II." Thomas nodded his head back to the knights, prompting three of them to make their way over to Maria, one carrying a pair of manacles, with the other two carrying their swords at the ready. Thomas had no intention of doing the woman harm, but holding her in a cell would be smarter than allowing her to go. He had heard all he needed to from the woman. This was an investigation made by the Arcarti's that the Order had not been alerted, too, "You will be treated with respect, as such is given to foreign authorities, and once Arcartus sends a formal party to hash out all the details, you will be held by the Order of the Thistle." Thomas announced, watching as his knights approached the woman.
