Into the Land of Twilight

"What's the matter, darling?" he said calmly, emphatically. Holding his walking cane behind his back, he stopped right in the middle of the room, giving the disappointed elf some space.

As Vesemir came up and then stopped, Roxas was found climbing onto the desk. She had moved the flier and lamp to one side of the desk as to not sit on it. She turned, back towards him and the stairwell. Her legs came up as she wrapped her arms around them, ankles crossed.

Her gaze moved to the window; which she has now closed from the ninja guy coming in. She simply sat there for a few silent heartbeats, staring out at the storm as it rattled the window lightly. “I am fine, Sir Vesemir. Thank you though, for your concern. If you need me later, I will be sleeping up here.”

The Gray Flame

The Gray Flame was still busy with the map he did not realize that his boss had moved on to greet the newest member. Strangely, he didn't remember someone named Fia on the list.
He was even more perplexed when watching the elven healer Roxas bringing am assortments of keepsakes from the upstairs. He was too occupied with Vesemir's whim, a carefulness to not show any sign of association with their current shelter, and observing the house itself. Which gave him a not-really-pleasant memory.

And now such sense of carefulness was challenged by the healer's action, who argued that her deeds were just. The gray flame stood dumbfounded for a good second, before Engelbert pulled him out to the corridor, out of the others for now.

"I know what you are thinking." The Gray Flame said. Despite looking like he was experiencing a blow to an old scar, he was quick to regain his focus. "But my hands are tied. What a rotten luck this is. You know what, let's see how it plays out or whether she was being true to her words."

It was obvious that Gray Flame was not in an optimal condition to talk, but who knows, things might resolve quickly with to of them talking?

So, with Engelbert in tow, The Gray Flame returned to the living room. The items Roxas brought have already been laid on top of the table, like some sort of auctioned goods. He breathes heavily as if to prepare for a great confrontation.

"Roxas," he said, slowly, clearly, like an elder brother telling his sister that the playtime was over. By the time he initiated this conversation, she was speaking with a giant Fellow The Gray Flame who hadn't had a chance exchanging names and pleasantries yet.

"To be honest we already overstepped our boundaries simply by taking shelter here and using this very room like our own."

Maybe intentional, or coincidental, the Gray Flame's gaze briefly fell on the photo and the bloodstained quiver. His hand slowly reached to touch them, until something snapped him out of it and brought his attention back to Fia, Evelyn, Carnathia and Roxas again, the main perpetrator.

"But what is done is done. If you think you have a very good reason to remove these items from their initial places, then I am willing to hear it. Otherwise, this is not a decent thing to do, and we better return them back."

"Does no one understand what the word investigation mean?" She set the pictures down, letting out a frustrated sigh before snapping her eyes to Gray Flame and giving him a glare as well. "FINE, FINE, fine, fine, fine!" Her magic flared around her in anger, silvery with amber flecks as it swirled and then settled. "Fine."

After Evelyn scryed the items, she scooped them back up. She paused at the bottom of the stairs, jaw clenching and unclenching. Loud enough for everyone to hear, before she disappeared; "Roxas. Healer." She then moved upstairs to put everything back. Damin might have been right, why did she bring herself on this expedition. Once upstairs, she put the chest items back, the flier on the desk and put the pendant, draft and picture back in the bedroom. She didn't come back downstairs.

Roxas looked to Engel as he proceeded to tell her that most of his encounters lately were people stealing. Unfortunately, Fia coming over did not help the case, but it was still rude of him to assume she would just take things in the house. She wasn't a monster. She frowned lightly, about to say something before he walked off hurriedly to talk to Gray Flame. She set her hands on the table again and sighed. "Still.. I'm not a monster. I don't steal from the dead."

She blew out air and then lifted the pictures again, looking them over. Why would the one in the chest be so.. melancholy and the other one show such a pleasant expression. Yes, the house was freshly built in the picture, but.. Something seemed off about it. To her, the first picture was either the woman's true personality, or it was taken after the second picture and something happened. Based on Engelbert's moving over to his compatriot in a rush; something was up.

Her hands paused in looking over the pictures. She raised her head slightly, her eyes moving to Engel and giving him the glare of his life. How dare he. "Excuse me?" She looked up further, slamming the pictures down on the table. "We walk into this house, with blood on the floor and the weapon and you expect me to not look into a possible death; despite the couple being gone for 30 years." She blew out harsh air, jaw clenching lightly. "And then you have the audacity to accuse me of wanting to steal from said probably dead couple."

Was everyone trying to piss her off today? First the.. weird stalker creepy guy and now the large armored tank of a man. She clicked her tongue angrily, standing straight. She crossed her arms, glaring at Engelbert again. "You've known me for a possible 5 hours and the first thing you ask me is if I'm going to steal.. I don't think in all my time as an adventurer the first thing someone accused me of, was stealing." She shook her head, closing her eyes as she was trying to calm down. God, this trip was going to be a nightmare if she was going to get angry at everyone.. At least Tillius seemed nice..

Roxas came down the stairs easily, and moved to the dining table. She set the items from the chest down, and the pamphlet for the business, then set the pendant and draft a little bit away. She looked up to the group. "Oi. I found all this upstairs. The quiver and other items were in a locked chest. This pendant, picture and draft.. were behind a locked bedroom door. Why it was locked, don't ask me. Anyone who can.. I suggest seeing if they're magical items, or if they can get information from them." She looked back to the items, the quiver and pictures in particular. They looked so drastically different, but what was the time frame between them.

Roxas hummed as she let the door swing open, holding out a hand to keep it open. She paused at the sight of the bedroom, before her gaze moved to the door. "Why the hell is there a lock on the bedroom door?" She mumbled to herself as she walked in and looking around. She moved to the desk, picking up the paper with her gloved hand. She rolled it and tucked it into her belt.

She picked up the photo, holding it as she looked more. She gave a hum, picking up the pendant and looking it over. Once giving another look over, she moved into the other room and picked up the flyer. She rolled it and tucked it into her belt as well. She then picked up the items in the chest; opening it again. She then would head to the stairs to make her way downstairs to everyone else.

The elf looked to the door properly, giving a hum to herself before she grabbed her woodcarving set from her bag. She pulled it open and grabbed one of her larger shaving tools and went back to the door. Her hand moved to the places she figured the wood would be rotted, pressing her fingers into it just enough to see how freely it gave away. Once she found the first spot, she put her tools perpendicular to the spot, and raised the small mallet from her set she had also grabbed. Hopefully the other side wasn't trapped.

If the spot gave away the way she hoped, she would continue to work on the rotten spots.

The elf waited for him to leave the room before softly swearing under her breath about sneaking up on people and startling them. She shook her head, moving to the door she was trying to investigate. She looked to the door and leaned forward again, trying to listen to see if there was anything that would be a need to get more people for.

Her eyes drifted to the lock as she listened, taking note if it was a similar design to the one on the chest. She had suffered damage to her dagger by opening the other lock with it. She did have her woodcarving tools, they'd probably be able to lock pick the lock. She should really invest in a lock picking set.

The elf narrowed her eyes further, not letting up on her stance. "As we are all part of the same company, we are free to walk about as we please. I can walk about and investigate things myself. You should think more carefully before you suddenly appear behind people. If I had been a human, you might have been in for more hurt than a simple arrow." She clicked her tongue at him, glaring now.

She was definitely pissed. "I'm investigating this room, find somewhere else. Once I find everything, I will bring the information to everyone downstairs." She stood, releasing her defensive stance; though she didn't put away her dagger.
