	After the words left Thalken's lips, his muscles instinctively tensed again. He was expecting an altercation to occur following his brazen admission as to who he was and who he was here for. Yet, for the second time the guards did not jump him like he expected they would. In fact, they seemed relatively at ease, albeit a bit annoyed, but at ease nonetheless. It would seem that [I]he[/I] was the nervous one here. Gosh, what was getting into him? He couldn't remember the last time he had felt this on edge. Even during the attack on Almack's he hadn't felt such anxious energy coursing through his veins. Though he supposed he was mostly in his element in the heat of battle that night, but this, preparing to surrender himself, was totally out of his comfort zone. He would take fighting hordes of Soulless over this any day.

	His already intense gaze only seemed to intensify further as the guards exchanged words with another guard nearby, a guard he hadn't known was even there. His dark eyes did a quick sweep of the area, wondering how many more guards were hiding in the shadows. He felt vulnerable in his current position, out in the open like this. He felt a bead of sweat drip down the back of his neck. [I]God dammit, hold it together Thalken![/I] He forced his expression to go blank as the guards looked him over before finally addressing him again.

	For a moment, he just stood there, washed in tension and almost unresponsive to their words. He blinked. Had he heard them correctly? They were going to turn him away just like that? His nostrils flared slightly, and his body finally seemed to regain mobility. He moved just enough to cross his arms over his chest and to arch a brow at them. [color=556B2F]"I didn't come out all this way just to be turned away,"[/color] he stated stubbornly, before his voice took on a bit of an edge. [color=556B2F]"And don't take me for a fool, I know the Lady Crypt is here to see Dame Mary Hale."[/color]
