[h3]Remdal estate, Zerul City[/h3]
Approximately six seconds after Angora's scream had been unleashed into the stillness of night, just about long enough for her to scramble for and get most of the way to the tub she had picked as the receptacle of her distress, a door was slammed open forcefully to one of the nearby rooms. It was opened hard and fast enough that the sound traveled well even through the dense construction of the Remdal estate and a slight tremor could be felt even in Angora's room. Just several seconds after that – long enough for Angora to be preoccupied by her own business – rapid, naked footfalls could be faintly heard just outside her door.
The door handle was swiftly, almost violently yanked downward, and the door was immediately swung inward with great urgency... only to stop in place when it was about halfway open, held in place, allowing the sound of Angora's ails to fill the air. If she were to look over, all she would be able to see through the halfway open door was half a pale hand, the tip of a silver-colored sword and maybe the edge of a very pale, fairly muscular shoulder. Then the door slowly and, if it was even possible for a [I]door[/I] to express such a thing, [I]awkwardly[/I] closed most of the way again, until only a crack about an inch wide remained.

“Angora?” Jaelnec's voice called out from the other side of the door, a hint of panicked uncertainty and urgency in his voice. The door trembled slightly, betraying that he was still holding its handle, ready to throw it open if he detected the need to do so.
More footfalls approached outside, more audible now that the door was partway open, though Angora was still mid-vomiting. These feet also sounded naked.
“You!” the voice of another young male exclaimed, which Angora might or might not, given their relatively brief acquaintance with one another, recognize as the voice of Thomas Remdal. “What in the planes did you do?”
“Me? I heard the scream and came running! I'm not –”
“You're naked and armed outside a girl's bedroom!”
“I thought she was in danger! I wasn't going to... wait, what in Stupor are you wearing?”
“Never mind that! The girl...”
“Yes!” The door opened another half an inch as Jaelnec seemingly refocused his attention on what he had been doing. “Angora? What happened?”
