Ryner laughed at Eris’ wink, the tension easing out of her smile as she did. [color=bc8dbf]“A bold move, Mr.Samael, but it seems tonight at least, fortune does indeed favor the bold. I’ll have our publicist reach out to yours. We’ll probably make official statements tomorrow night but this way, you can better coordinate whatever steps you take to protect your image.”[/color] Ryner tapped on the desk as she spoke, the movements sharp and harsh but barely making any noise. Concern flashed over her face at Max’s comment.

[color=bc8dbf]“You don’t need a plan at all. I’m not about to make my students defend themselves when I’m standing right here. If for some reason someone comes into this room without my permission, it’ll be considered a violation of my privacy and I’ve killed for less in a darker time. As long as you three are here, no harm will come to you.”[/color] Ryner promised solemnly. [color=bc8dbf] “My students are more important than my reputation but clearly I trusted my subordinates too much and you all have taken the fall for my naivety. For that, I apologize. I know it's a far cry from anything substantial after what you've been through but it is all I can offer at this moment."[/color] 

[color=bc8dbf]Though to answer your question Salem, yes they will use mind magic to interrogate you. It is one of the horrors I intend to protect you from.”[/color] Ryner knelt in front of Salem, a soft smile on her face. [color=bc8dbf] “You and I both know the investigation is nothing but my mother’s ego and Lady Sinnenodel’s sadistic pleasure. Tonight's event will not impact [i]anything[/i]. You’ve stayed strong this whole time. Trust me for a little while longer.”[/color]

[color=d42cf9]“Yes, thank you.”[/color] Dennis muttered as he clung to Amaris amid crowd, this face taking on a distinctly green tinge. [color=d42cf9] “Princess Nox is here and she looks halfway ready to kill someone herself. Queen save us, that’s a nasty looking axe.”[/color] Dennis muttered under his breath. A few people around the pair glanced over at the commentary, realized who was talking, and shifted away, leaving a few paces of space around Dennis and Amaris. 

[color=d42cf9]“Apparently, our Princess hid Eris and the mages away. Princess Nox just finished clearing the admin building and it looks like she’s moving onto the lecture halls next.”[/color] Dennis kept a stream of information coming quietly under his breath, just loud enough for Amaris to hear. [color=d42cf9] “I didn’t realize you could call someone stupid that many ways.”[/color]

The flow of students continued past the administrative building, dark and lifeless as several of the royal guard stood outside. More royal guards patrolled the walkways and the dorm area, shepherding students as quickly as they could. Tonight was a poor night to be caught outside.

She wrapped one hand around his throat and another dug into his still good shoulder as she pulled, straining to dig her fingers into Victor, but she struggled to leave a dent in him. She jumped back, wary and suspicious. [color=red] “That is… unusual. You must not be a student then. I thought you were just another dumb pet of hers, prior occupation and all, but you’re a little studier than most aren’t you?”[/color]
