It seems my attempts to stay communicative didn't go as I'd hoped. The reaper of motivation is sneakier than I anticipated.
I don't think I can post in full just yet, and I certainly don't want to hold y'all up any longer, so I figure I'll give that outline of Arcturus' next actions/words you asked for... Uh... A couple weeks ago...
Sorry I died so dramatically again.

Arcturus was taken aback by Victor's apparent inability to see the lamp. For a few moments he glanced uncertainly between the white garbed man and Marcus, giving a silent nod towards the latter to affirm that he too had seen it, before fixing his gaze squarely on Victor as more questions came. This is the point when he finally drew breath to speak again, only to be cut off by the sound of a harrowing scream. Almost immediately the hilt of his saber shifted back into his hand, brandished by reflex in preparation while Marcus went to check the door. Once the source of the scream had been confirmed, however, he once more gradually lowered his guard. Although his sword remained in his hand.

With a curious suspicion in his eyes, Arcturus once more turned them to Victor. [color=00aeef]"Do you know something?"[/color] He asked firmly, following on after the response Marcus had given before the scream.
