[@floodtalon] Meruin gave a small nod and took the seat next to Ryan. As far as she was concerned, she could sit anywhere, but sitting with a friend was much better that just anywhere. As she did, Meruin detected a faint but slowly growing amount of blood lust. She frowned and looked for the source. She found it quickly enough (there was only one person so far releasing killing intent, though it seemed she would be joined by another, soon) and immediately recognized. It was coming from Sol's not-wife, the one she vaguely suspected would challenge her soon. Should she do something about this? She wasn't doing anything so far, but blood lust meant aiming to kill. Her status as a Council Member aside, Master Reina would string her up if she found out she could have prevented a death but didn't.
