[color=ed1c24]"I've gotten everything we need. Neil, I believe it's time we ended this farce."[/color] Vară stated, her voice seeping with venom. [color=ed1c24]"That filthy bottom-feeder known as Ian is [b]not[/b] who he claims to be, he's-[/color] Her sentence was cut off prematurely when the man of the honor himself came bursting in following the demoness. The fact that he had the audacity to even ask if they made any headway into the investigation almost made Vară's head erupt with steam. 

No more games

[color=ed1c24]"]Wasting my time was grave mistake in of itself, then making me perform your basic duties made it even more grievous. But this, lying to a noble then using them in your own little schemes is the worst offense of all. You mock not only me but the entire house of Riemsianne, it's unforgivable!"[/color] Bursting with rage, Vară's fire was beginning to illuminate the whole room, along with increasing the temperature. Paying no heed to Neil at this point, the heiress channeled her aura into a ball of vermillion energy which she held in her hand. She then aimed it directly at Ian. 

[color=ed1c24]"The illusion of your cleverness ends here. I've heard the testimony of the witness from last night, an individual who was able to enter the room without breaking in was seen running off into the distance. The clanking sound heard suggests that he was an armored figure, all qualities [b]you[/b] possess. Confess your crimes your craven wretch! You can either be detained by the authorities peacefully, or you can be carried off on a stretcher with your body charred to cinder![/color]

While Vară postulated herself as being a denizen of justice bringing down a dangerous criminal, the mention of her noble house and talk about her honor being stained suggested that she was mainly angry at the fact that she had been used up to this point...

Successfully fending off the Ogre, Nagare quickly checked on her partner who unlike her was being jumped by multiple combatants. To her dismay she witnessed Ada be stabbed by a sword-wielding Lizardman. However, there was no sight or scent of blood, the blade simply phasing through the flesh. Even so, Nagare immediately sensed something strange from the weapon, along with noticing Ada's sudden loss of stamina. While not familiar with every man-made weapon, the ice dragon deduced that the sword must be a magical blade that drains mana. A very dangerous weapon that gave the Lizardman a clear advantage. Before she had more time to gather her thoughts, Ada was about to be struck again by her attacker. [color=00aeef]"Ada!"[/color] She called out. Just as she was about to assist her comrade, the Minotaurus who was partnered with the Lizardman picked up another weapon and came charging at her. [color=00aeef][i]No![/i][/color]

Not missing a beat on her impromptu planning, Nagare sprayed a trail of ice on the ground before her. If her planned worked out correctly, the Mino would lose her balance and slide into the opposing Lizardman. The collision hopefully would knock the blade out of the bandit's hand, and knock out two birds with one stone. If not, then at the very least Nagare could counter her assailant and still go assist Ada.
