Whatever the case, staying here and letting the trail run cold was not going to benefit anyone. It was during this exodus that a jovial young female's voice rang loud, breaking the wave of leaving adventurers. "Stand aside, citizen! We have reports that a monster has been sighted on the HQ and none of the other guards could deal with it..." Such a voice, which swiftly changed to a tone of unimpressed boredom, accompanied by a characteristic --and overtly dramatic-- hand swipe, couldn't belong to any other than Viola Ferrari, the poster girl of Aquaria's guard, currently leading a three men patrol. The reason for such a change in Viola's voice was none other than the girl laying eyes on Sagant, who she had kind of a story with. "... it's you again, huh? Why don't you go do your goblin-y things and stop prompting people to send false reports?" The girl shooed Sagant, not unlike a bug you don't care enough even to go there and squish it. [i]"What Onnesama, erm... I mean the Captain is thinking by allowing such an obvious evildoer to walk around like that?"[/i] Viola mumbled to herself, thinking out loud. In truth, it wasn't like she had anything against the infamous Redeye, but the goblin was more trouble than he was worth, like nine times out of ten times. Even now he was in the way of Viola's lunch break. "Ahem!" Viola cleared her throat before continuing her dramatic speech, "if your party is going to take on that mission, I advise you caution, citizens. But also try not to spread panic through the city, the general populace is starting to get wary of the disappearances and, even with cautionary measures, if you adventurers start spreading misinformation, we won't be able to keep the people at peace." "If there's nothing else you want, you can get going. Otherwise, ask, and I'll answer as well as I can. It's the guard's duty to be neighborly, after all." Yeah, Viola would be as helpful as she could. However, if these adventurers could be quick about it, it would be much better. The young guard's stomach was beginning to grumble and Viola would prefer a week taking care of the stables than be disgraced in front of Aquaria's citizens.
