Peter was glad that his uncle picked up on what he was asking of him. Though Peter held rank and status he was unknown in this city, his uncle was not. Gripping his cane, he stepped over to the small group as Sgt. Walsh was turning over Abbas to the local authorities. The man had been kicking and screaming and pleading the whole way down to the street but as soon as they got there he went oddly quiet. His eyes narrowing towards his captors as they turned him over.
Coming up to his Uncle Peter spotted Haakon and he merely nodded. Of course he was here. The man was beyond nosy, so if something was going down he had no doubt that the journalist would be poking and prodding for information whether it was his place to or not and most likely be rather off base with his assumptions.
Sgt. Walsh holstered his side arm once Abbas was in the custody of the people that would be taking Abbas back to prison before turning and addressing the Lord Major in all the required formality that a lower ranking officer would. Then he went on to explain where they had found Abbas and what had gone down as quickly and succinctly as possible. The authorities taking note of what was explained before Sgt. Walsh motioned for the Lord Major and the Lord Captain to follow him and Haakon back upstairs to the Ladies who were in Aziza's room currently.
Aziza really didn't know what else to say right then. The entire night had been a whirl wind. First the attack, then the inscription, now this. Looking up from her hands in her lap she glanced towards the door and hoped that the two would be back in short order. She was tired and worn from the day, her head still throbbing from the rock that had struck her in the club earlier that evening. The woman just wanted to curl up in bed and get some rest.
Elsewhere In The City
Vera looked over towards Riley and stumbled slightly, falling back onto the couch with a rather comical thud. It wasn't the first time she had been cut off. Not that she ever drank much but it was more than obvious that she had a tolerance that was well below the average person. She had always been like that, for as far as she could remember. Thinking back to her first drink, she was only about twelve at the time but it was New Year's eve and she had been slipped a single glass of champagne. It didn't go well.
There was no recollection of what happened that night, even to this day, but there were plenty of tales. How exaggerated they were she couldn't say because well she couldn't remember. There was talk about singing, dancing, a fire poker, duel, and broken vase. All she could remember was the hang over the next morning. It was horrific thinking back to it even today. Sure she could tolerate it better these days, a whole additional glass, but she knew that hang over was going to come and before she started doing her interpretation of a Cancan, it was probably best to heed Miss Ridgeways' words.
Nodding, she drunkenly held her hand out. "yiof," she said, well that was what came out. She meant to say yes. Slurred speech had set in and it was beyond that. One of the waiters in the officers club looked at the two women before taking a deep breath and explaining that their rooms were ready. While the rooms were not adjoining, they were next to each other in the officers quarters and should do for the evening.
"Perhaps it would be a good time to move the Lady to her chambers," the man said quietly and Vera could only giggle a bit.
Looking at Lady Kingston the desk clerk nodded. "Yes, of course. Right away," he said as she asked for word if anything else happened and to ring for the physician. It was about that time that the bells stopped ringing and he let out a sigh of relief. "At least what ever was happening has ceased thus far. If I receive any word I will let you know," he said before going and ringing the physician. It was growing later in the night, so it would take a few for him to arrive but he assured her that it shouldn't be more than thirty minutes and that he would bring up some tea for her when said physician arrived.
