After tearing his death glare away from the guy and a not-too shocking swarm of much more competent guards, the blonde's gut felt a little twisted as he looked at the body once more. Something about it gave him bad vibes, a sinking feeling in his chest. Maybe he just felt guilty for not doing more, but that seemed irrational. It was too late by the time Alderman had found her, and far too late for anyone to do anything now. He clearly didn't know what to do with himself and was all too glad for the frumpy vampire to start running her mouth. Except for when she mentioned having to take them in. They had gotten more attention than even he wanted, especially in this type of situation, but there wasn't any time to even try to talk his way out of this. Throwing Alderman under the bus was probably a poor idea, so there really wasn't much he could do in the moment.

The huia feather cape alone was worth more than the car! [color=ccff99]"The only question I have is how something like this could happen on [i]royal grounds[/i] and right outside of a party that was bustling with people,"[/color] Eris replied, pinching the bridge of his nose. [color=ccff99]"I was under the impression that the prestigious Noila Academy was at least a safe place for mages, how could someone get away with taking a life? Is [i]every[/i] guard as incompetent as Mr. I'm-Going-to-Assume-Murdered-Means-Drunk-Humans?"[/color] [/indent][hr][/indent] [sub][right]In a car with [@Scribe of Thoth] and [@Trainerblue192] even though it's BULLSHIT.[/right][/sub]
