Unnervingly enough, the Raen woman’s expression remained unchanged and dead to it all even when the inspector laughed rather than respectfully taking her hand like a proper gentleman would have. The insult was not lost on her, however. And she purposely kept her hand extended just a few seconds longer before she dropped it back to her side. She gave no further answers or explanations. She barely nodded her head to agree that she was ‘associated’ with Ehvar. It was not until he left that she moved to the miqo’te’s side.
Ehvar felt his wrists throb with pain. He still had the restraints pressuring against them as far as he could reach. That pain kept him from screaming out things he -wanted- to say at this point. “They will kill her if I don’t say anything,†he practically growled out the words.
“It’s just a damned coeurl, boy. You can get another,†Tsuki grunted back, eying the chains that were latched far too tightly. She began to turn to demand their loosening when Ehvar said something else to gain her attention.
“Hope you are good at your job,†Ehvar had muttered before he called back towards the inspector -- hopefully before he could leave the room. “I will tell you what happened to those women. And why. Just.. get my Mere the help she needs. Alright?†The smile was forced, but looked genuine enough if no one paid attention to that tantrum he had before Tsuki’s arrival or the fact that he was still straining restraints in his anger even now.
Tsuki stood there, stunned. She had been warned this would not be easy. She had no idea it meant that the fool would throw himself right into an impossible situation like this. It was enough to cause her to falter in silence for a moment. Then, she too looked back towards Inspector Desmond. “Make this agreement official in writing.. And we have a deal, Inspector.â€
