Sure. He could use a visit from a wise old houseplant.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Grey Onyx

Grey stood there, simply staring to each of the other two... Ugh. It was obvious that he had just made that up... Not that she didn't appreciate written reports. Easier to review, assuming the damn things were accurate. However, it was the only convenient excuse he had at the time. These two were up to something, he knew it, and he wouldn't just let them pass... The funny thing is, he likely would have let them through if they had been totally open, or at least told him more. In his mind, whatever they were keeping from him could be anything, since it had been awfully hard to go with rational assumptions lately, and he had made quite a few mistakes... Not that this wasn't one.

He shook his head. "You're hiding something! Why the hell would you lie to me? And then you just try to shove past me anyway, it's ridiculous!" He shouted, shifting his position slightly to cover an opening he had just spotted. "And no, I'm not. If this woman was really as bad as you say, I would have heard some kind of damn struggle. Since I can't be sure what the hell it is I'm not being told, I'm assuming it isn't good. Now-" He was interrupted as, to his surprise, Lucilia opened the door. He seemed nervous when he turned to face her... He knew that expression, and it wasn't a happy one. "L-luci-" He started, but she interrupted him. "I-I was just-" he started, trying to explain, warn her, anything. However, that stare of hers couldn't be ignored. He relaxed, shield-arm dropping to his side. "Yes Ma'am. I understand Ma'am." He said with a sigh, nodding slowly.

He left without a word, attempting to deal with his emotions internally while he tried to calm himself... It seemed that any plan to relax had been basically invalidated, given that now that he's thought about it Meirin and Lucilia were the only two people he knew he was on good terms with and he'd just made himself look like some sort of crazy person in front of them... Well, there were Khan's two demons he let roam around, but he hadn't seen them... Who knows where they could be? He doubt that they'd be roaming around, given the dinner fiasco a while back... Which was a shame, since they were basically all he had left to talk to. He hadn't seen Coco anywhere, he didn't feel like he'd have anything to say to Leith... Not that he was on bad terms with him, he just didn't feel like they'd have anything to talk about.

Athalus and Mar were also out of the question, and he didn't know how the elf would react if she found out his injury was caused by his own stupid mistake. once again, he was hit with crippling indecision... Just what was he supposed to do now? He groaned, sitting in a bench after wandering off a ways... He tugged at the belts keeping his shield in place, tossing it beside him as he looked up... Huh, that window was familiar. He took a look down both ends of the hall. Huh. This was where he chased Zaad that one time.

Alaira Taenn

Alaira was silent as she watched the apparently confused guard leave. Ssarak just seemed to have that effect on people it seemed. He just seemed to have this special talent to inspire people all around him to make complete asses of themselves. She just stayed quiet while watching the two... He also seemed to have a habit of getting what he wanted, no matter what. Maybe one of these days she could take him down a peg? And his high-and-mighty bitch too. Regardless, all of that bullshit was for later. For now, she just had to keep an eye on Lyn, and to be honest that was all she really cared about doing at the moment.

She was somewhat relieved when Lucilia asked her to leave... Less so when Ssarak did. She stepped close, giving him a light shove. Not really enough to move him at all, just as a sign of general disrespect. "Do not talk to me..." She growled, scooping up Lyn as she walked out the door... Now what? She wasn't going to head to her parents quite yet... She wanted to wait as long as possible and hope that whatever was going on with them would have cleared up, at least slightly. "What do you wanna do?" She asked Lyn, holding her out a bit so she could look her in the eyes. "We can go visit the gardens if you want?" She asked... She knew she quite liked the gardens, even if she herself never understood the appeal of flowers. She always thought plants were kinda boring, but whatever. That's how she thought about most things you couldn't hit people with.

Grey Onyx

Grey nodded at Meirin's words... She was a nice enough woman, but he just couldn't shake this feeling that the two shouldn't be allowed to pass. There was something he wasn't being told, and if there was one thing he hated it was lies. "I'm afraid you'll just have to come back with a written report... And... yeah, I'd like that. I saw some... Less than pleasant things." He raised his eyebrow as they approached, stepping in front of the door with a sigh. "Look, this doesn't need to be diffi-Hey!" He shouted when he saw the illusion, stepping over to stop it... and watching as his hand went through... Goddamn psychomancer!

He turned back, finding that Ssarak had indeed tricked him. He fixed his shield to his arm, which is the one piece of equipment he insisted on carrying at all times. Something was definitely wrong. If this was just a report, they wouldn't have felt the need to try an illusion. He stepped forward, and shoved the Eysire to the side as he took up a position in front of the door. He kept his guard up, staring at the Eysire. "Back. Off." He growled... before turning his gaze to Meirin. As he did, his expression softened. "Friend or not after that stunt I cannot allow you to pass. Come back with a written report..." He said, sighing as he turned back to the Eysire. He would not harm either of them, but he would not let them pass without explicit orders to do so.

Alaira Taenn

Alaira smiled slightly as Lyn went around being her usual self. She took a seat, patting her on the head as Lyn drank her cocoa. She saw Lucilia look to her several times, usually looking away quite quickly. If she had to guess, the vampire was probably surprised that she wasn't trying to throttle her... Well, it appeared that this reasonable approach thing might not be so bad after all. She sighed, hoping that she could stop some bullshit down the line. "Look... Just don't do it again, alright?" She asked, fairly certain she would know what she was talking about.

She heard her say Ssarak and Meirin were at the door... Ugh, figures. She heard a knock on the door as well, followed by one of her least favorite voices. She stood up, and yelled to Ssarak right after he spoke. "Fuck off! The office is closed until further notice!" She then proceeded to drag a chair over and prop it against the handles. She raised her eyebrows at the sounds of a minor scuffle, but just shrugged as she walked back to her seat. "I'll just give you the damn report... they would tell you the same thing anyway." She said, leaning back as she began to recount the events of their mission in her usual blunt manner. She was fairly detailed, and she told her everything, even stuff that made her look less than ideal. The burning of the field, her misguided provocation of the guards, her intimidation of the caravan master, and their elimination of a sizable chunk of the bandit threat. "There weren't any demons, just Vampire mind-mages... I think it went pretty well, but the others'll probably whine to you to put me in 'time out' or something..." She said, grumbling as she turned back to Lyn, patting her again.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Yeah, I get the feeling. Like when I sorta felt like backpedaling from setting that fire.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I will say that was a bad idea but it is well within your capabilities. or in other words, that's good, you don't need to change anything.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Say Free, if Ssarak were to become friendly, commenting that he does not wish to have hostility among friends and noting that they have physical evidence on them that they need to turn over to Lucilia, would Grey still stand in their way?

@EliteCommander

He is convinced they are overreacting, and he feels they'll do something rash. That, and he can't help to be so overprotective, since he's bound to her he is unable to willingly leave her undefended if he's in the area and there's a perceived 'threat'. That, and he distrusts Psychomancers on principle.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

All pimp-like?

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Gotcha. Keep in mind he ain't easy to shove aside. by all means do it, just don't be casual about it.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

A note: Grey will step in front of them if they try entering the office, but will not stop them if they force their way past him.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Whoops, forgot to have Grey address Satori, let me edit that.
