Nathaniel heard the subtle noise of bells echoing from the centre of the city. [colour=#C0C0C0]"An alarm?”[/colour] he mumbled listening to what the guards were shouting out, relaying what they had investigated to the public. Staying indoors for now would be smart. They've likely had practice drills on procedures such as this, in case something like this does indeed happen. His pulse jumps for a moment, thinking about the other sages who weren't in the Alchemy chambers when he went with Eris when they went to discuss the upcoming expedition.

His mind wandered for a moment, wondering if she would be ok; he shook his head almost immediately, trying to keep focus. She'll be ok, she's smart and very skilled. Right now you have a role to perform. Help keep these people safe until the all-clear alarm is sounded. Every urge in his body told him to go out and help the guards investigate what had happened, but with him still being a new resident, it would likely only bring suspicion to him just turning up. 

His attention was brought back to the present. Hearing Katherine speak about the cellar that she could only just remember. A cellar could be a good idea. [colour=#C0C0C0]"We move to the accommodation quarters.”[/colour] he said softly. [colour=#C0C0C0]"We can have two people in each room, so we aren't too crowded in one.”[/colour] I am unsure of how big the quarters actually are. Likely small rooms for people who have just had the clothes on their backs, but they could have what's needed. 

Nathaniel nods [colour=#C0C0C0]"Yes that's my name.”[/colour] giving her a respectful bow. When she spoke about rewarding him with baking. A smile brushed across his face,  [colour=#C0C0C0]"There is really no need....”[/colour] but when it felt like he wasn't for debate, Nathaniel submitted to it. [colour=#C0C0C0]” Ok, perhaps you could teach me a few recipes, I'll be happy with that.”[/colour]

Daphne spoke about him getting a bit cleaned up. The blood that stained his coat cracked across the surface, a sign that it had dried. He could feel the irritation on his scalp as the blood in his hair was starting to dry too. The offer to wash himself up was nice, no doubt there was likely some amounts of blood leaked through his collar and down his abdomen. With a little focus and a trace of his fingers under his tunic, he could feel the dry patches. [colour=#C0C0C0]"As much as I would like to bathe and wash all this off.”[/colour] he said pointing to himself and the blood on his attire. [colour=#C0C0C0]"I'm afraid that will have to wait. At least until I'm out of here and back at the inn. It would be unethical for Aurelian to bathe themselves clean inside a temple of the Moonmaiden.”[/colour] Gods forbid, he's already set foot in a place without consent bringing a corpse with him, getting blood everywhere, rearranging the furniture, lighting a brazier without permission from any of the priests. Then to strip down to wash himself, he wasn't surprised that Selina herself doesn't make him burst into flames as punishment. He would just have to endure it for now.

After listening to what Daphne had to say, his attention went back to everyone else out there in the town, still debating whether or not to go out there and help. But his attention quickly snapped as he saw Daphne kiss Katherine. His mouth slightly opened, not expecting this. Didn't Katherine just say she was not long into this? Bit bold of Daphne. He cleared his throat, regaining his composure, somehow. [colour=#C0C0C0]"Well, if we do go to the Accommodation rooms, I suggest we hide out in a group. But if you two want some privacy, to sort things out. I don't mind taking Persephone to another room to hold out until the all clear.”[/colour]
