Saying that the sudden crack surprised him was an understatement, the blonde vampire's eyebrows shooting up as he noticed the magic moving the stones. He crossed his arms as he watched the Astorio get dragged under, barely holding back his chuckle. Seeing an Astorio disciplined for manhandling a mage was inevitable, but he had to admit he didn't think he would get to see it so quickly. The display of shame amused Eris to no end, happy to have caught it when he happened. At least class was dismissed, as fun as it was rolling around with the other two, he was eager to try to find his little one sooner than later.

As they were dismissed, Eris immediately loosened his chest gear, finding it much too stuff. However, he fished around his jacket pocket for a card, handing it to Joryldin. [color=ccff99]"Let's keep in touch, I'd [i]love [/i]to get to know you better,"[/color] He smiled at the turned vampire, giving Amaris a little wave. [color=ccff99]"The next time you want to [i]grapple[/i] just let me know."[/color] He told her with a wink as he took his leave.

Fortunately, his clothes hadn't gotten too creased, but he wanted to take advantage of the extra time to go back and iron anything out. Or that was the initial plan until he opened up Varis' text. Okay, time to prioritize finding the Alderman boy. Once he dumped all his gear, he scanned the students still undressing. No sign of him there, either he never made it to the class or he had squirmed out of his gear faster than a drunken whore in heat during the Revel. Interesting if it was the former, but if it was the latter he needed to make sure the thing wasn't going to get himself into any unneeded trouble.

Pocketing his phone once again, Eris exited the arena, looking around for the mage. Either by coincidence or dumb luck, the mage was right in view. He had a backbone standing up to the Astorio, a clear distaste for either authority or vampires. Possibly both. Shelving his giddiness and putting on a mask of neutrality once again, he approached Maxwell as the mage was walking away. Catching up to him, his right hand pressed against Maxwell's upper shoulder, tracing a line along his upper back before slinging his arm across his shoulders.

[color=ccff99]"Maxwell Alderman, I presume?"[/color] Eris asked somewhat nonchalantly, making sure to properly steer the mage in the direction he wanted them to go to. [color=ccff99]"I'm sorry to inform you that there's been a change to both your current situation and standard of living. Your former partner agreed to a buyout, placing you in [i]my[/i] capable hands."[/color] Weird, off putting, and hopefully irritating. He gave him the slightest smile, chartreuse eyes glinting with the slightest touch of mischievousness as he judged his reaction.
