Pauline looked up as Lorne began to talk. Good Wil-BURRRRRH (gnh...)! He seemed to have gotten Lorne about again. However, the discussion wasn't interesting to her in any particular way. She tuned in and out of it. She knew she didn't do it and she knew Wil-BURRRRRH (gnh...) didn't do it, and she was fairly sure Lorne didn't do it, so it wasn't very important to her one way or another. However, she noticed with amusement that one little boy was listening very closely.
Bailey looked up from the floor he had been studying so intently. "Even if they do find the murrrrderrer amongst us, who's to say they'll find the rrright perrrson? We'rrre all in danger because of Zoan-Rrrai's death, arrren't we?" he grumbled. "Oi don't know aboot the other forrreigner here..." he jerked his thumb at Mean Bird Guy. "But Oi didn't come herrre just teh be trrreated like a suspect when Oi've harrrdly been here long enough forrr the dust ter settle on my luggage, let alone develop a strrrong desirrre to murderrr a high rrranking official." His accented voice rang out loudly.

Rem opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings. She sighed and leaned back against the wall. Still stuck here, she thought to herself. The dark room was crowded with many people; some looked rather calm, others more frantic. Not really caring, she shut her eyes again, scowling. Of course, the one day I venture into town, something like this happens. She didn't remember much of what had happened; she just wanted it all to be over so she could go home.

" let me wager a guess, you happen to be a southerner? And you shouldn't stereotype, its awfulto assume, but yes, I am from a rainforest south of here." He sighed wishing he could have another smoke but he was afraid of what would happen if he pulled out his Wild 7's. He missed Jack, the delightful little fur-thing, was a real hoot in seriosu situations such as these, and he had a feeling Lyss would love him.

Liss nodded. "Yeah, but it's been years since I've been there." Her tail swayed. "But isn't assumption a huge part of things? You came over because you assumed I would interact with you. We were brought here because they assumed we might have killed man.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T GET MY SERVANTS! I DEMAND YOU RETURN THEM TO ME! I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU-" Shou's sister screamed from the hall. It was silent for a bit before it started again, "THAT'S NOT FAIR! DO YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY MY FATHER IS GOING TO BE AS IT IS! YOU CAN'T DO-" Again her voice was cut off. After a few minutes Shouwrlktjwalked in followed by a pair of guards. He walked over to where his servants were and told his sister's handmaids to go with the guards as he sat down and sighed.

The guards now in Jack's control opened the door and carried the body of the slain Lord in, but that was all trivial to Jack as he saw Master was with another. Jack fumed master was HIS. He darted in and jumped up into Mean Bird Guy's lap startling both the girl and Mean Bird Guy who had been watching the procession coming into the room.

"Yeah, but forget about that it seems they are bringing that man in-HEY!!!" A small furred animal that looked suspiciousley familiar had pounced onto him and was hugging him fiercley. Mean Bird Guy grabbed the thing by its scruff and raised it to eye level. "Well lookit what we have here. Its jack!" He smiled and the animal and turned it around in his lap so it was facing Liss.

Shanta grumbled in agreement, "It's true! If the murderer isn't even in this room, then chances are that an innocent man, or woman will be charged." The phoenix' voice was full of irritation as he responded to the little unicorn. Even the citizen of Idigo to need to be treated this way, let alone visitors."

Lan Mei jumped as she heard her mistress yelling. She stiffened while Shou-sama and a few guards filed out and he beckoned off the maidservants. Looking over at the slumping Shou-sama, she bit her lip and darted over cautiously to whisper in his ear. "Young master... I was brought in as a witness." she reminded him. "D-do I leave with the guards too? Do they still need me?" But more pressingly on her mind was "If... If it's not too bold, what happened?"

Shouwrlktjlooked from his musings at Lan Mei, "My father pulled some strings so that my sister and I could leave the mansion after they questioned us... But of course the fool refuses to leave without her handmaids. So I stay and the hand maids leave. I'm sure they'll come get you for questioning at some point." He grinned as he looked at her. She looked so cute and innocent when she bit her lip. "It seems we will be here for a while, at least until they question everyone." He glanced away at her at the body that was carried in, Well at least father will be happy about this, he thought as his face darkened.

Lan Mei looked as the other servants left, looking relieved. "I see..." she said thoughtfully. She sighed. "I shall stay here then..." She sank down to the ground and sat on the hard floor. "In that case I suppose I'll be remaining until they find who did it?" She looked at the ground and traced her finger on the floor. She was pretty sure Shou-sama wouldn't shout at her for sitting down in his presence, but she was a little jumpy just in case. She gave a mental shrug. Besides the fact that she was a witness for a murder, she supposed she could look at it as a little break from the humdrum. "I will wait upon you while we're stuck here if you wish, Young Master." she said offhandedly. She was his sister's servant, but she thought it was good to stick with the family.

"Hmm?" Shouwrlktjlooked at the woman sitting at his feet again and smiled, "Why thank you Lan Mei. I would be grateful, but I highly doubt there will be anything for you to do." His eyes wandered over her and he cursed his luck (as he often did) that the top of her dress was not low cut. From his point of view he was sure it would be a wonderful sight. He sighed and let his eyes wander around the people in the room, most had found others to speak with and were clustered in bunches. He noticed a scantily clad female jaguar. He let his eyes drink their fill since there didn't seem much else to do.
