	The fight was turning in their favor - or at least it appeared to be. Victoria did not like the way that Cavendish poofed out of sight in a cloud of white vapor and paid it a piece of attention, attempting to figure out exactly what happened with him. That he had used magic was obvious, but whether it was from an item or personal ability to wield arcane forces was beyond her. She let the note she was playing on her violin carry for a moment before quieting, twirling slowly one last time before coming to a stop. The fact that the Constable had magic at his disposal altered her perception of the situation slightly and raised more questions than not. 

	Victoria gave a tiny mental impression in the metaphysical direction of her quadrupedal meat-servant, Morty, and drew it back a little closer to the building they were both next to. The only attacker that she could see was laying prone after having been blasted by Kosara but she didn't want to take chances, making sure that her Morty was actively playing the defensive for herself and covering the nearest blind corner, among its usual standing orders. She couldn't see where the Dragonborn had gotten off to except in pursuit of one of the retreating guards. Deep down, she hoped that whatever happened came up positive for the Monk but had no desire to follow and find out.  

	 [color=9932cc]"We should get out of the open,"[/color] she said to no one in particular. Her voice was not overly loud but clear enough to be understood over the white noise of rain hitting rooftop and cobblestone for those nearby. [color=9932cc]"This tale's antagonists know who we are now, and some of you are hurt."[/color] Victoria remained tensed, things expected or unexpected braced for as best she was able. Blood was still hot, breath was still heavy, and there was more that needed to be done. All this seriousness was not her forte, if she was honest with herself. But dying or being turned into a slavish rat-beast was far less so.



[@rivaan] Kosara has a regular turn in Initiative now.
