"Master Sharon, I hate to be the bringer of bad news... " Sounded Friedrick's ever calm and unalarmed tone as the butler could be seen stepping into Sharon's sanctum as the High Elf was frantically moving about the large apparatus in the middle.

"You wouldn't perchance be referring to the giant demon outside, would you?" Sharon replied without taking his gaze away from the machine as he was carefully adjusting the screws around the cage holding the fel crystals, as if he was disarming a bomb that could blow up in his face at the slightest of provocations!

"No, it is not that... "

"Let me guess, Liaena has unearthed her emergency stash?"

"Not that either, Master Sharon."

"Our dear Captain has gotten wind of my secret liquor storage below the well?"

"No, but that's only a matter of time. The matter I bring you Sharon is concerned with the town guard." Friedrick finally said, moving his hands together behind his back as he stood upright and watched Sharon.

Sharon paused in his work, to finally turn and peer over at his butler while removing the goggles, his azure eyes growing wider.

"What about the guard?"

"I am afraid that our local commander has caught wind of our... situation."

"Good light! Are they here?"

"They were, yes. That is until our exalted guest showed them down the street."

There was a moment of pause as Sharon merely looked at Friedrick, squinting his eyes as he tried to make sense of what the butler had last meant. That would be an attempt that Sharon soon would end, however, as he instead focused on more immediate matters.

"We need to cover this up before they call any further reinforcements!! Mister Friedrick, please call on our favors with the dwarven mining guild! We will need them to cover up this mess! Also, have miss Collins burn some Smokeweed. We need a bigger smoke screen to cover up the show for the rest of the city."

"Sir, are you not forgetting something? ... "

" ... "

Sharon looked at Friedrick for a moment, before he glanced over his shoulder and out the window where Malizia sat in the garden outside.

"Oh, don't worry, I will deal with her. You just get to work on damage control ASAP!"
