Eris openly rolled his eyes in disdain, unhappy with everything. It made things worse that this was a known issue that had yet to be resolved; the incompetence was just offensive at this point. He let himself realx on the drive over, figuring playing at complacency would earn him more points than being difficult. No doubt once word got out this would be all over the news, and he wouldn't be surprised if people already knew. It would've been nice to put a lid on it now, but he couldn't guarantee keeping everything hush hush. He found nothing of interest when the detective spoke to the princess with the sole exception of her sister being mentioned--he quirked an eyebrow in interest, even if he was sure he wouldn't get any more information on it. Last he heard, the two weren't exactly on buddy-buddy terms, so it wasn't surprising that Nox would want to use any excuse to swoop in onto Ryner's territory. He stayed quiet, taking one of the seats when invited and removing his mask out of respect. Alderman wasn't nearly as approving, doing poorly to disguise his distaste, but Eris had to make a mental note to see what he could do about his awareness.

[color=ccff99]"If word got out to the wrong people about a certain someone being involved, I'm sure [i]someone[/i] would be swooping in to collect."[/color] He gave Salem a knowing glance, resting his chin on the palm of his hand before looking at the princess once more. [color=ccff99]"There's going to be some buzzing around the Academy once people start asking questions, and I'll offer an apology now for any unwanted attention. Life in the limelight does have its cons,"[/color] He wasn't exactly expecting to get arrested, but he'd at least make an attempt to stay on her good side. [color=ccff99]"If it would please Her Highness, I'd be happy to offer my assistance in hushing the outburst."[/color] [/indent][hr][/indent] [sub][right]Sitting in a chair next to [@Scribe of Thoth] and [@Trainerblue192] even though it's BULLSHIT.[/right][/sub]
