     Sulfrax scowled at the door as the two women completely ignored him. He had half a mind to commend them on their dedication. The other half was very tempted to blow the door down and accidentally set everything in there on fire, but that was probably not the best idea either. Instead he decided to keep lurking, still curious as to how this project that was once his was going to play out. After all, this was all supposed to be him. Those women should have been under his thumb. These speeches and orders should have been handed out by him...or at least some underling. Not the pansy inside.

     So, Sulfrax stepped into the room itself, pausing at Ebenezer and the frightened Brian near the doorway; he had just let the women out, after all. The poor CMAS fool was yammering about hearing things, and he supposed the scruffy man in the scarf was trying to comfort him. Neither of these things would have mattered, until his gaze turned to where Ebenezer's Imp was standing. Brian might have just been crazy, but Sulfrax was crazy [b]and[/b] an Arch Mage. His gaze flicked back up to Ebenezer after a moment, mumbling something to himself as he passed, striding slowly over to Sydney and Joshua.

     [color=lightcoral]"So, this is my replacement then, Sydney?"[/color] He didn't bother with introductions, or waiting to see what Syndey's reaction would be to Sulfrax showing up where he didn't belong. He just immediately switched his gaze to Joshua, taking a moment before reaching up to pull his hood back, making sure the scientist got a good look at the enchanted leather straps covering his hands and wrists. A reminder of just who Sulfrax was, and what he had done. [color=lightcoral]"You look soft."[/color]
