Jeanne nodded, "Let's go outside and check it out. Siglos, will you be joining us?"

Noah came out annoyed by the noise, she was fixing her hair with both hands and put on a clip to hold itEventually, the sun would begin to slowly lower below the horizon... but not fully. It was around 7:00 PM, so the sky was rich and orange, and the clouds were thin and spread apart, letting the slowly dimming light of the sun shine down upon the city of Aegis. For some reason though... things were lively, which was unusual for this time of day. In fact, things seemed less lively and more... panicked. As if something had happened. More official guards issued from the castle eclipsed the streets- More than a few hours ago, at least.
Siglos flinched as he heard the scream cut through the commotion outside, his heart skipping a beat. The Everian’s mind immediately went to the assassins that had attacked earlier, worried it was another potential attack.Jeanne nodded, "Let's go outside and check it out. Siglos, will you be joining us?"

"We're investigating screams..." Shalor murmuredNoah came out annoyed by the noise, she was fixing her hair with both hands and put on a clip to hold it
"What is happening?" She ask after see Shalor and the others
"Ah, well, then I'm going with you""We're investigating screams..." Shalor murmured
Sylvia was in the same spot she was before, in an alleyway on the street across from Alexia's inn. She glanced at Siglos, Jeanne, and Noah as they came into vision, then gritted her teeth, looking away.Siglos gingerly peeked through the door, his eyes scanning the gathered crowd. He tried to find Sylvia or Cain, hoping at least one of them would be nearby in case an assassin really was amongst the crowd.
"No, you misunderstand my meaning." Alexia explained, her voice louder due to the crowd. "That is not a person related to the attack on the king, or to the assassins that were sent to kidnap you in my inn... I know that person. That is one of the local blacksmiths that many visit on the regular... look behind the mask.""no, but is related, it's just one step, it's not like it's fixed overnight, we have to worked hard"
"Hmmm""No, you misunderstand my meaning." Alexia explained, her voice louder due to the crowd. "That is not a person related to the attack on the king, or to the assassins that were sent to kidnap you in my inn... I know that person. That is one of the local blacksmiths that many visit on the regular... look behind the mask."
Should Noah use her senses to peer behind the mask, Alexia's words would be confirmed- It was the same man who'd sharpened Kargath's bladefist, the same blue-haired smith.
Noah just sighed"....." Jeanne let out an "ahem", shaking her head.
"We... can't be certain the royal court is in cahoots with the assassins. We have no proof, not even flimsy proof, of the case. Everian nobility has always been... brutal, and cruel. This could simply be another showcase of that, to cover up their failings."
(I haven't done much aside from going to and breaking out of prison.)(I just have good memory. Yall have skill issues.)
(Well, since you're out of prison, you can have your OC respond to what's going on now. Or, don't, if you want. I'll try and be more active here to accommodate whatever path you set your character on. Life's been difficult, so can't be on 24/7 anymore.)(I haven't done much aside from going to and breaking out of prison.)
"Like, cooking and whatnot, but... if you say so..." Shalor responded, breathing out and in deeply, clearly trying to calm himselfAlexia breathed out, "I don't exactly know what... "abilities" you are referring to, but, I stay here in Aegis for... personal reasons. The royalty being scum will not drive me out anytime soon..."
(Wouldn't she cover his eyes?)Jeanne placed a hand on Shalor's shoulder. "I don't... think you should watch this."
"Now, execute this heathen!" Cecilia called out. The Masked Man squirmed even harder now as the executioner next to him raised his sword, his screams and cries deafened permanently.
Shalor looked away, his face giving it all awayJeanne placed a hand on Shalor's shoulder. "I don't... think you should watch this."
"Now, execute this heathen!" Cecilia called out. The Masked Man squirmed even harder now as the executioner next to him raised his sword, his screams and cries deafened permanently.
"Um, Siglos..." Shalor murmured, crouching down in front of him with a worried expression on his faceSiglos’s body trembled, his lithe flesh shaking beneath just cloak. Emotion ran thick in his chest, threatening to overwhelm the young Everian. As he saw the sword begin to fall...his own memories flashed before him. Every night spent unable to move, unable to breathe. Every night he had been forced to be a puppet to his father's twisted whims.
“T-this is why...we shouldn't of come here...” Siglos said quietly. He felt dizzy all of a sudden, leaning against the wall of the inn for support.
“...their m-monsters. T-their...they're all ******* m-monsters. E-every...e-every single...s-single one...” He muttered, rambling to himself. His breathing grew heavy and quick, his legs growing heavy as he pressed harder against the inn walls.
(Bro don't care )(Does Siglos know there are children present? Lol)
Siglos looked away from the boy as he crouched down, raising one of his rings to his mouth. The jewel within glowed faintly for a moment, before a thick smell of lavender flowed from the magical gem. He inhaled deeply, before taking a slow, long breath."Um, Siglos..." Shalor murmured, crouching down in front of him with a worried expression on his face
