How in the hell did he miss that?! He scowled down at the body, as if that would remedy the situation. That dark intensity that was all too common with him was once more overtaking his features. And yet, despite the fact that his demeanor would suggest otherwise, the gears were turning in his head. Perhaps he did his best problem solving when he was brooding. Who knows. His mind went back to the bodies on the docks. He remembered how their precise layout had led him to the exact location of the last remaining body. The odd thing was that unlike this body, the cause of death of the bodies at the docks did not appear to be of Soulless origin. Unless of course he missed some blatant clue like he did here. [color=556B2F]"God dammit,"[/color] he exclaimed louder this time. He let out an annoyed huff. He stiffly turned to face Michael as the man said something in passing. Unlike the man, Thalken was not so much bothered by the amount of deaths. After all, he was no stranger to tragedy. Honestly, it would have bothered him more if the people had been killed by the Talinks, namely his father, rather than Soulless. His family already have too much blood on their hands. The Soulless on the other hand were surely just getting started. No, what bothered him was that he couldn't figure this damn puzzle out. He pursed his lips in thought at Michael's last comment. Where would the Soulless hide? [color=556B2F]"Abandoned buildings,"[/color] he stated simply. Without another word, he tossed the handkerchief back over to Michael and then strode out of the room.
