Armond saw the first man draw his weapons, though he remained in place, his guards stepping out of the treeline. It was clear the nobleman was coming prepared to assist in dispatching the scorpion, though he lifted a hand as they moved to defend him, causing them to stand down and sheath their weapons. At the man's words, he opened his mouth to speak, only to be forced silent by a woman. Her tone seemed not to phase him in the least, it wasn't surprising to him that there were those who hated nobles, everyone did in one way or another. As she brushed by him, he closed his eyes, "The King has little to do with the flier, Miss, it is I who came up with the idea. Furthermore, I would try and keep that anger of yours in check, it could get you into a lot of trouble one day." he said calmly, opening his eyes to look at the half-breed who was the most visibly angry of them all. Her words annoyed him, more than they should have. As she went stomping after the woman who passed prior, his arm lashed out and grabbed her own. The sounds of weapons being drawn by the guards and those around the pair were heard, the situation had become tense now, and it had the potential to get even worse. Armond brought his face as close to hers as he could, "Listen here, Fish-girl, I won't have one of your kind telling me how to do my damn job. The crown did all it could before I stepped in to assist them. If we knew what we were up against, we would've been able to save Seles, and countless more lives beyond the town. So why don't you shut your filthy mouth and know your place, fish." he said in a threatening manner before letting her go.

He heard one last person speak, this woman seemed to be sensible, she clearly had to be the leader of this band of warriors. "Very astute, Miss. You're right, but to a degree, we couldn't send troops in because our information was so very little on the creature. I'm surprised to hear it was a scorpion, it's obviously not something native to this area, and this fact alone concerns me. I have a theory on what caused this, though I think it better to return to Bale at once, the King will want to know about this as well." he told her. Snapping his fingers, the guards left to fetch the horses, leaving him unguarded. Armond looked over the resting woman, she appeared to be the worst off. He made his way to Veragwen, motioning to Nayash, "I heard rumors of a Death Frontier warrior in Seles, they're strong warriors. I'm surprised to see she's so badly injured...do you know what happened to her?" he asked, looking Nayash over again.
