[h3]Jordan, Nabi, Madara and Jaelnec – Outside Bor Manor, Borstown[/h3]
Quintin simply watched and listened, his head turning to face the one speaking at any given time, but otherwise kept his expression stern and neutral. The two housekeepers – Wade and Kylie – started to draw back a little as official business was clearly coming to take priority over their celebration of their missing housemate's safe return. The other armed guard held position and listened like the newcomer, but did so with a much more perturbed and slightly nervous expression.
“I have no issue with reconvening at the station,” Quintin said firmly. “As far as I know there should still be a couple of able-bodied Watchers left. We can bring them for the pursuit, too. But I'd like to wait for Vela. You go ahead, Cole and I will be along shortly with everyone else.”

Despite himself, Jaelnec could not help but be a little impressed by Quintin. There was something about his demeanor, from his persistently neutral expression to his stance and the way he spoke, along with the way he wore his equipment, that told him that this guy was not just your average hired muscle. Judging by the fact that he had successfully followed the bandits, scouted their hideout and returned unscathed, it seemed like whoever Quintin was, he was probably fairly competent. He also noted that he was the only one he had heard refer to the baroness by her first name.
By contrast, Jaelnec could not help but to feel dejected and useless all over again when he, rather than going with the others to the Fadewatcher station, was asked to just... go back inside and get the others. A job that felt a lot like busywork. Still, it was undeniably something that needed to be done, and it was not as though there was anything else worthwhile for him to do at the moment.
“Right,” he said, turning and heading back inside. “I'll do that.”
