I'll post after you. I am assuming that Grey would let them past now.

This was getting ridiculous. Something as simple as debriefing on their mission was being halted by someone who knew nothing about it, for reasons that were not apparent. He did not resist when Grey tried to shove him aside, though he was quite surprised that he would go that far. They had been through a good deal of stress on the mission, and now even college guards were giving them trouble. Ssarak could not help but to feel somewhat insulted. They had volunteered for the mission at considerable peril to themselves for the benefit of the College, and now they were being harassed for trying to complete it. Still, he retained his composure and avoided lashing out, even verbally, at Grey. Even more concerning was that, much to his surprise, Alaira's voice sounded from within the room. He had not seen her enter through the room's door, so he wondered how exactly she managed to get in there. Out of curiosity, he reached out with his mind to feel how many were inside the room, at which point he found a voice he did not expect: Lyn's. He looked to Meirin with a concerned expression as he sent her a telepathic message. He did not wish to do any more without consulting with her.
"This, I did not anticipate. What motive could he have for trying to keep us from Lucilia? I wonder if Lucilia instructed him to keep us away because of what she did to Lyn? This requirement of a 'written report' is something I feel Grey invented himself, as Lucilia did not mention it when she gave us this mission. I could attempt to read into his mind, but I do not wish to antagonize him any further. The last thing I want is to damage one of your friendships, and I do not particularly wish to make an enemy of Grey either. Though, I am more concerned about Alaira. If she is the only one to report to Lucilia, then she may downplay her own errors. I think we need to talk to Lucilia; if we say that we have these letters, journals, and maps for her, she will have no choice but to let us in. But...I can also feel Lyn's thoughts within that room. She is there, and I do not wish to put her under any more stress than she has already experienced. What do you think we should do?" Ssarak asked.

It just doesn't seem in character for this moment.
Edit: He didn't do anything particularly bad, and I don't care if Grey is mad. I just think Ssarak would be more patient than me.

The more I think about it, the more I think I made a mistake in what Ssarak would actually do. He's more patient than I. But, I don't want to go and change it now, as that would seem far too much like just responding to meta-knowledge.
Alright, posted. Tell me if there is anything I need to edit.

Ssarak nodded to Meirin, walking along with her. "Agreed." He began before turning his attention to Grey. "There is no need for hostility among friends. We have seen far too much of that over the last few days, and I personally prefer cooperation. Besides, we are meant to report to her, and we do have physical evidence that we should deliver to her sooner rather than later."
Despite Ssarak's explanation, Grey was still intent on trying to stop them from meeting with Lucilia, going as far as standing in front of the door in an attempt to block them from entering. At this point, Ssarak was beginning to feel some annoyance towards Grey. It was Lucilia who had given them this mission, and she would naturally want their report afterwards. It did not make sense to Ssarak why Grey felt it was appropriate to attempt to stop them from completing the assignment that Lucilia herself had given them. They could not just avoid meeting with Lucilia, but Ssarak wanted to avoid hostilities if at all possible. As such, he decided not to do anything that could be perceived as violent. Instead, he performed a quick, simple illusion. When he started to move, he made it seem as if his body was moving around Grey to the right, when he was actually starting to move to the left. The mirrored movement meant that, when Grey attempted to intercept him he actually ended up moving out of Ssarak's way, allowing him to reach the door. With Ssarak already past, there was no reason to try and block Meirin.
Unfortunately, when Ssarak attempted to open the door, he found it locked. Quickly, he knocked and announced who it was. "Lucilia, it is Ssarak and Meirin. We are here to deliver our report of the caravan escort." He said, keeping his tone polite. At this point, if Grey was still intent on stopping them from meeting with Lucilia, he would have to attempt to physically pull Ssarak away from the door, an act which he hoped Grey would consider to be a step too far.

Say Free, if Ssarak were to become friendly, commenting that he does not wish to have hostility among friends and noting that they have physical evidence on them that they need to turn over to Lucilia, would Grey still stand in their way?
Right, as I said in my post. The cabal, plus the people I mentioned.
"It's a plan, then. We'll go out and get a nice meal, maybe some drinks. And from there, well, whatever we feel like. My treat." Rareth offered, mostly because the restaurant she had selected was more on the expensive end of the spectrum. Since she was already in her formal clothing, there was not anything in particular she needed to do to get ready, so she went ahead and ordered one of the city's many shuttles from a local taxi company. The automated shuttles were programmed to wait in specific locations around the city and wait for fares to call on them. As a result, it only took minutes for the shuttle to reach its designated location on one of the rooftop landing pads.
Since the landing pads were not meant to be occupied continuously, Rareth made haste up to the roof and quickly identified the shuttle. After using her wrist device to identify herself as the one who had paid for it, the shuttle opened its doors and allowed her to take her seat. Since the shuttle was designed to be fully autonomous, it did not have a cockpit, only a seat situated near a set of emergency manual controls. The rest of the space in the interior was devoted to passenger seating and baggage storage. It was more spacious, and far more comfortable than most military vessels. As she was waiting for the others to pile in, she went ahead and designated their destination, which was a restaurant named "Taste of the Neolithic." She was not exactly sure what that meant, but its website did specify it was an Earth-themed restaurant.

I'll have him get past Ssarak-style.
