Julianna got an sudden chill down her spine when the guantlet touched her shoulder.  Considering their situation, Nero was lucky Julianna didn't stab him with her weapon.  What an incredibly rude thing to do and stupid thing to do during a crisis, even if it appeared to be over.  Thankfully for Nero, Julianna was able to realize just who it was.

Julianna didn't respond right away and let Nero do what he wanted.  Nero was scorpion, shiny, armored, and full of poison.  He was also very observant and his little jab at her hit home rather quickly, but of course she wasn't going to go along with it.

[b]"What matters is that we have caught the immediate threat and that we know whoever is behind this attack is of the extremely cautious sort.  No doubt it will be very hard to glean any useful information out of the assailant."[/b]  That was certainly true, with an attack who could not even speak who had to know how to ask the right questions to get any useful information, also if the killer was illiterate as well it would be even more of a challenge.

All that being said, she now had a nasty hand on her shoulder, did the man have to leave his [i]gauntlet[/i] on?  Yes they were still in a potentially hostile situation but having a gauntlet on your shoulder was creepy and uncomfortable in more ways than one.  Thankfully she had just the thing to take care of the situation.

[b]"Ah yes that reminds me Sir Nero, have you had the pleasure of meeting my father, Marquis Silvern?"[/b]  Julianna smiled put an open palm toward the large man now standing next to them.  There was never anything quite so intimidating as a father who looked like you were assaulting their daughter.  His smile seemed pleasant but his eyes were fixed on the offending gauntlet.
