Marie-Louise looks at Uriel, no longer looking sad, just a bit bored, only speaking to him. I rather go and play a game of hide and speak, not much interesting about those servants of C'thalet, let their souls feed him, not ours... She turns to the leader, staring straight at him. You are boring. Let those men be dead, they were bad men. He killed that woman for his demon C'thalet and now he is killed as well. This is all I want to tell, I don't want to come with you.

Sure, why not I don’t have anything else to do. Lets go.

He motions to Shannout that he is onboard. He then moves his mask back to behind his head, realizing it was still on his face.

Besides, this could be interesting.

Vadath gives a wide grin.

I shall take this wee one home, then I could go to where you will ask questions.
Oct 20, 2017 2:23 am
The leader looks down at Marie-Louise as her voice fills his head.

That was you? Talking about finding your mother's head? Thank you for the information little girl. It probably is best if your - um - your friend there takes you back home. This kind of mess is not the business for a little sprout like you. he says, his voice starting to tinge just slightly more patronizing than it was before.

Marie-Louise's eyes burn with fury, staring into the leaders eyes. Suddenly she bends her head and looks at her headless doll. Yes I know I haven't told him I dealt with that black hooded figure. He clearly doesn't know who he's talking to. What do you think is best? Aha, yes... Let me ask... Marie reaches with her free hand into the front pocket of her dress and pulls the head of Antoinette out by one of its black braids. Marie stretches her arm towards the leader who now has two sets of big green eyes staring at him. Could you please hold on to her head? Antoinette wants to look at you while we decide what to do with you.
Oct 20, 2017 7:28 pm
The man chuckles softly as the small girl in front of him holds out the doll's head. So you dealt with the black hooded figure did you? You must be very brave little girl. Let me see the head there, looks a lot like the dolly my daughter plays with at home. he says, taking Antoinette's head from Marie-Louise.

Antoinette, you said her name was? Well, Antoinette, it's very nice to meet you. Why aren't you on your body any more? he says, his voice softening into what is clearly a common 'parental' tone for him.

Uriel smiles. "She is very brave, braver then most."

Uriel seems proud.

Marie-Louise's eyes twinkle darkly as the man addresses the doll's head. She looks down at the doll's​ body, shaking her head once. No, I don't know why he talks like that. Tell him that? But you said - she then cringes like she's being yelled at and without another word looks up at the leader again. Mama gave me Antoinette for my birthday, to show me what a sweet little girl looked like, the same year papa made the guillotine with me. I tested it with rats, but mama didn't like that. She hit me and yelled at me. Then I took Antoinette's​ head off, we became best friends. She helped me with mama's head, but we didn't think about papa. He was so sad. Marie-Louise suddenly nods quickly and she slowly reaches for Antoinette's head, but wiggling her fingers slightly like she's ready to cast a spell at any second, if needed.
Oct 22, 2017 12:25 am
The man stands back up straighter a little bit, looking at the severed line where Marie-Louise clearly cut the head of her doll off the body. Uhm, yes. You shouldn't just go - I mean - she... his voice trails off a little bit as he absent-mindedly handed Antoinette's head back to the little girls. Are you sure you won't come back to the station house with all of us? We can get some tasty drinks for everyone, and I'm pretty sure I can find some cookies or other sweets. I'd really like to know a little more about mama, if you and Antoinette would like to walk with us.
Oct 22, 2017 5:32 pm
Marie-Louise puts Antoinette's head back in her pocket, and smiling brightly takes a few steps back, sending her thoughts into everyone's mind except Uriel. Are you going to look for mama? I miss her so much! We can fix her head and papa will no longer be sad or angry. Thank you so much sir for helping me. Once we find mama and fix Antoinette we can be finally be happy again! She turns and reaches for Uriel's hand, sending her thoughts just to him this time. Will you please carry me with you all and keep me safe? I don't know if we should trust this man, but if he is the one that will handle C'thalet we should help him.

Uriel nods and lifts Marie up easily so she can ride on his shoulders.

Please Sir lead on. We shall follow.
Oct 22, 2017 7:30 pm
Then it’s settled lead the way!

The man smiles at Marie-Louise as Uriel picks her up and plops her down on his shoulders. Excellent, I really appreciate this. Mikhail, run over to the Bazaar offices. They'll want streetcleaners out here soon. Bevin, could you run and get the gravediggers? We'll need them to take possession of the bodies. Dwerin, stand guard over the scene until Bevin returns with the diggers, huh? Keep this one with you and all three of you can escort him back. Looks like he'll be out a while. We'll all meet back at the station house. the leader says, dispatching the other three guards to their duty before turning back to you all. My name is Aedwin, by the way. Aedwin Rickthofer. It's about a five minute walk to the station house. he says gently to you all before setting out through the nearby Bazaar exit after placing his crested helm back on his head. You follow him through winding streets, though people tend to move out of the way of the Legionnaire pretty expeditiously.

After the promised five or six minute walk, you see a squat stone building in the distance, with a pair of Legionnaires standing out front, halberds at attention, on permanent guard. You make your way to the door with Aedwin in the lead. G'day lads. A few witnesses to some of the hostility in the Grand Bazaar. Going to get some statements. he explains casually. The guard to the right nods and you proceed through the heavy oaken door. Past a welcome desk and down a narrow hall, he leads you to a medium sized room replete with comfortable looking seats and a few scattered tables.

If you'd all have a seat, I'm going to see what I can scrounge up in terms of food and drink, alright? Give me a few minutes. his piece said, he turns and closes the door behind him, leaving you alone in the room. There are no windows, and only the single door.

Wonderful! I do enjoy spending time with people eating and drinking! Mind if I play while we wait?

Vlur takes out his pan flute, sits near Shannout and begins playing a soft song which seems to echo through the empty room. Seeming to keep a bit of distance from the little girl. He thinks to himself.

That little girl creeps me out. Almost reminds me of mother.

Uriel makes sure to help Marie down and duck when he comes into the building to avoid hitting his head on the doorway.
He will take a seat and make sure Marie has a seat near him if she wants.

Go ahead and play, I would like to hear your music.
Oct 23, 2017 4:54 pm
Ci drags one of the seats next to the doorway before seating on it with his legs up.
He lets out a sigh with a shiver.

"What do you think they have in store for us?" he says as he cups his face with both of his hands before running them through his feathers.
Oct 23, 2017 5:08 pm
I think just questions about what happened. Uriel then shrugged since he didn't know if they would want more.
Oct 23, 2017 9:36 pm
Marie-Louise stares at the door for a few moments. Then her eyes shift to Uriel. I'm scared. What if he wants to hurt me for hurting that man? She crawls underneath the table closest to the door, staring at it, thinking about the way they came here, and places to hide once outside.
Oct 23, 2017 9:38 pm
I will try and keep you safe. I dont think they would hurt you though Marie.
