If it's too good to be true, it usually is.

How Eris managed to forget that rule was beyond him, the blonde's amusement somewhere in the negatives. He should have noticed sooner, but considering until their slip up the phony princess played her part just as Ryner would, it was safe to say he had fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. Illusionary magic, he [i]really[/i] should have recognized it sooner than he did, but for some reason thought the princess above such measures. No, more like they weren't worth the time--why waste her time with 'suspects' when she had somewhere else to be? Princess Ryner was aware of the on-goings and was either with the task-force pursuing the real murderer or was doing as Nox was and clearing the perimeter.

Either way, it was a sore loss.

Moving his hand, he took off his mask for a moment, brushing his hair away from his face. That chill was something else, and he couldn't say he was entirely fond of it. Still, he was a business man through and through, and even if the little favor wasn't his to claim anymore, there was still work to be done. Without explaining himself, he snatched up the inkwell on the desk and opened it up, taking a moment to dip the quill in and pulling on the opened notepad that had been neatly placed on the desk. The quill skated across the page effortlessly, the message formed in record time. He folded the paper in half, repeating the writing briefly, and once he put everything back where it was, he left the note front and center on the desk.

[hider=Your Highness, Princess Ryner]
[i]Highness,

I have taken the liberty of contacting my team. Your people will hear from them shortly--they are at your disposal. Please feel free to contact me if there are any concerns.

Yours Truly,
Eris Samael[/i][/hider]

Now that that was taken care of, Eris was more than ready to call it a night. He was pretty sure he didn't need to ask Alderman if he was ready to do the same, but there was a tiny hitch he nearly forgot about when he looked up and saw Flower Boy. Right, the thing was probably quivering in his shoes over being tricked by magic again. Well, he wasn't alone at least. 

Placing his mask over his face again, Eris leveled a look on Salem. [color=ccff99]"Well, then, we won't be inconveniencing any more princesses tonight, I'd rather not run into either of them right now. We're leaving,"[/color] He stated. 

As much as he wanted to leave, though, he couldn't quite abandon Flower Boy. He couldn't say it was out of compassion, maybe having another mage around just in case was good enough to ward off the chills, but leaving him there didn't sit well with him for some reason. [color=ccff99]"Are you coming or are you staying?"[/color] He asked, his voice a little lower. [color=ccff99]"I don't think heading to the noble dorms right now is a good idea. If you don't want to stay here alone, you can come to my dorm."[/color] Maxie would enjoy the new company, at least, and if he couldn't quirk up the courage to go anywhere, he could always crash on the couch or something.
