"Yeah, I have no idea where that is." Cale replied simply to Isaiah's remark before looking back at the guard. They had answered his questions, now what was he going to do. The guard kept an eye on the group but nodded when they answered and then gave his response. 

"Well if you're adepts, then I would like for all of you to accompany me to the palace. Lord Iodem wants to see you." The guard said. Cale raised an eyebrow at this. Iodem was the lord regent, he was given control over Tolbi after Babi, the previous leader, had passed away. The people liked him well enough and he did a good enough job at being lord regent that nobody had tried to contest it. As such, he had been in power for many years.

"Are you arresting us? Why does Lord Iodem want to see us over a bar brawl?" Cale asked suspiciously. The guard shook his head and clarified.

"You're not under arrest, and milord made it clear that I was not to force anyone to come in. However we're under orders that if we come across any...[i]capable[/i] looking adepts that we should try to bring them to him. He did not say why. He had dealings with adepts in the past though." The guard said. Cale thought on the matter for a moment. Why would the lord of Tolbi want to see adepts? Was it about the raiders? Maybe it was a trick to try and bring adepts in so they could interrogate them and see if they were related. It was an interesting notion, but then again this man was making it clear that this was strictly voluntary. Finally, he finished his glass and stood up.

"Fine, I'll go." Cale said.

Back in the market, a guard would approach Marta with a man in his custody. The man appeared to be slightly bruised, and pointed at the girl accusedly.
"That's her! That's the one I saw cast the spell!" He said. The guard nodded and handed the man off to one of his colleagues before he approached the girl. She was young looking, could someone like this really be as dangerous as that thug was saying? They had strict orders though, no adepts were to be harmed unless they were actively disrupting the peace and this girl wasn't doing that right now. It had sounded like self defense in the bar earlier anyway, Marcelo and his friends were always causing trouble.

"Excuse me Miss, a word? Are you an adept?" The guard asked, getting right to the point. He noticed the red skinned woman with her and it made him slightly uneasy, but he held his composure while he spoke.
