The guard looked between the two speakers as they gave an utterly astonishing report. If they didn't look the way they did, he would have never believed a single attacker was acting within the palace grounds when they'd had the cordon up so long. The Order of the Thistle may have been believed to be involved in some creepy things by the palace guard, but they didn't deserve to be getting offed in the middle of the night, same to whoever the Tremora fellow was. "No harm done, just stay here, this is what the Guard is for. Don't do anything silly with that bow and make me look like an idiot," he said, looking at Gareth in particular but sounding none the more serious for the remark. He didn't think any of the three were going to be up to anything. They had a Lyoki royal with them, not that they were hard pressed to offer shelter in the first place. Admitting someone who walked in with a bow on their shoulder just looked to be in poor taste given the recent circumstances. "Come back along, get away from the doors," he instructed, turning and motioning for the trio to follow him back towards the head of the room. "Sorry for your loss, but you picked a shit time to be here. Order just booked the regent and no one has a clue what's gonna happen now," he commented along the way.
