The robed woman froze when the man had spoken about her name so openly, and both Corwin, who now noticed his boss, exchanged looks with one another. It was the start of something... deadly. Her eye turned to Constantine, and a glint of anger pierced the air between them. Her body became stiff as she slowly turned to the man,

"So... you're Constantine...?" she spoke heavily, her voice carrying through the air like venom, "I thought you'd know more manners than to ask someone a personal question... even when advised not to. I'm starting to think you don't have the slightest idea the particular people you've been assigned with."

When the last words were said, the air seemed to unleash a spark that lashed out towards Constantine. It traveled faster than a blink, but disappeared as the room suddenly dulled. This transpired only for a split instant too, then returning back to "normal." The woman looked disappointed, and there was an irritation now within her expression, her purple eye turning cautiously towards Anelle.

There was an instant unsteadiness in the air, and immediately Corwin let out a laugh, throwing his arm around C and pulled her away from the others, much at her reprimand. He whispered something to her, and while she didn't look exactly thrilled by what he was saying, she nodded and remained at the other end of the room. Storming off and losing her composure was well below the woman's dispositions.

"Haha, you must be the new guy! What a sense of humor you got there!" Corwin called out as he moved towards Constantine, yet again, throwing his arm around the man casually. He smiled to the rest while he walked him over to Anelle. Once they came far enough away from everyone, he pulled Constantine close to him, "What do you think you're doing?! Do you want to die?!" he said with a hushed panic, his green eyes looking at the man as though he was absolutely insane.

"Listen, I don't know what you want out of her, but don't do it. She looks frail, but far from it." Corwin advised, before leaving him with Anelle and returning back to the Melissa and Jessie, whom appear to be taking the whole situation with a spoonful of tar. 

He just smiled and waved the situation off, pacing quickly to Jessie and Melissa, "Ah, everything's fine! Anyways, I gotta tell you about what's going on tonight... you see, we won't be going back to Erro with the Passage going on, so that means you'll be coming with us." 

He dug around his pockets and pulled something out, first turning to Jessie, but then made a peculiar expression. His eyes peered at the man with curiosity before facing Melissa, in his hand, a strip of paper that had an assortment of symbols on it, "Here you go; this will allow you to retain your physical form until we can suit you up with a proper one in Erro."

...

The scarlet haired woman awaited Constantine, though shared none of Corwin's friendly attitude, staring at the man with eyes filled with ire. Her hands were crossed and she tapped one rapidly.

"Didn't I say you shouldn't do that, huh?!" She snapped, opening her mouth only to close it in bafflement. 

She released a deep sigh, "You can fight all the demons you want when we get out there, and don't worry, tonight's no ordinary Purging mission. Trust me, it'll be interesting, so no need to pick fights with someone that will tear this entire ward up if you push the wrong way."

The woman then looked at the man with a changed demeanor, coming closer to him, "Look, I think you're a pretty decent guy, and I've got a pretty big tolerance for things, but [i]her[/i], no no no. Don't piss [i]her[/i] of all people off, for you own sake" Her lips formed a slight grin as her hand struck him roughly on the arm, "Okay?"
