	After nodding at Effie's response, Samuel looked at the various faces in the room from his chair towards the edge of the group. His gaze passed over the woman named Selas, as recognized by the Ar-Rynesarte girl. He didn't know her - she didn't even seem familiar. Odd, considering he was pretty in-the-loop when it came to relevant figures in the various Mage circles. If they were going to work together, he'd have a couple questions for her, at the least. 
   His scan settled on who he guessed was "Lady Blackmore", one of the few who were late. She seemed to be among the youngest in the room.

His eyes swept over the youngest individuals in the room once more. [color=#9932CC]"But you know what they say. Criminals always return to the scene of the crime."[/color] He interlaced the fingers of his clasped hands.

He partially blocked out the shenanigans of Mr. Leonardo, considering he didn't seem to be taking the situation all too seriously. Not to mention, he isn't much of a fisherman.
