Emon: *nods* Sadly. *smiles at Mitham* Who's this?

Darnell: I'm sorry to hear. I'm glad she has you now, though. *hand on the boy's shoulder* This is Mitham. He'll be joining me for this investigation. Mitham, this is Lord Emon DuPrae, the master of this household.

Mitham: *bows awkwardly*

Emon: *small, concerned frown.* /Join/ you on the investigation?

Darnell: Well, tailing, at least. He's already aware of what's going on. In fact, he may well have saved my life last night. Unfortunately, that makes him a possible target too. I'd prefer to keep him close if only for his own safety...such as it may be.

Emon: Saved your life? *how?*

Darnell: The raven that people have seen? The one with red eyes? It's real. I mean, it's /physical/. It was in my room last night. *will describe the nightmare he had, including everything that Brogan said, and waking up to Mitham fighting off the bird with a chair*

Emon: *has a hand over his heart....* Life Light... How do we stop something like that?

Darnell: .............I'm still working on that. Although . . . capturing the raven, since it /is/ a physical creature, may be a good first step.

Emon: *nods* I'll have the soldiers keep an eye out for it and will tell them to try to catch it. Alive?

Darnell: Yes. Injure it if they have to to keep it from escaping, but I think we will need it alive. We don't know what will come of its death, if that will hamper Brogan or just set him freer somehow. Also, if it's alive, I can take it to Lady Rei to see if she can tell us anything about it.

Emon: *nods* I'll let them know. All the people you wished to speak to are in a room down the hall as well.

Darnell: Thank you. They do know that they're not in trouble or anything of the sort, right? That I just need any information they can offer? *so he knows how much he's going to need to reassure these poor people...*

Emon: *nods* They are aware and know you're here to help.

Darnell: Thank you. I'll take them one at a time to speak to, so they're not having to speak in front of a whole room of people.

Emon: *nods* They’re waiting for you. I’ll be here if you need anything from me today.  And thank you again, detective, for coming to help.
