(Where the hell is Goldy when you need him?)

Claudius frowned upon not getting an answer, shrinking back into the soft chair with ease. Suddenly, the door opened and a pair of Penitus Oculatus agents stepped in, followed by Novo Interitus himself. Novo's face broke into a smile upon seeing the party huddled around the table. He took a seat opposite Claudius with a look of strange amusement in his eyes.

"So... Claudius Tharn. Looking pristine as ever," he observed, smile unwavering. Claudius' eyes narrowed. "Cut to the chase, Novo. Why in the name of Dagon did you send the agents to Skingrad? What are you up to?" he asked, a look of anger kindling in his eyes.

Novo simply laughed. "Come now, Claudius. Don't jump to accusations. I was only sending messengers. We're all friends, aren't we?" he questioned, motioning for one of his bodyguards to fetch him some wine. "Some messengers. They tried to kidnap Jack and take him back to Castle Skingrad, from what I heard." Claudius growled.

Novo turned to Paris. "My my... he's a feisty one, isn't he? Tell me, what's your relation to him?" he asked, cocking his head to one side. Claudius kept his eyes locked on Novo, for one false move could lead to ruin around someone so powerful.
