The study of Lord Mycroft of Scabbard had settled into an oppressive silence.
Dante stood with his back leaning against the wall watching Estelle pace anxiously as they awaited news from the Scabbard dragons.
Lord Mycroft was also seated at his table, a dark expression on his face. His hands were clasped together and agitation reflected visibly in his eyes.
It took a short moment before there was a knock on the door and Damien Mycroft strode in, accompanied by two Scabbard dragons.
"What news?" Lord Mycroft immediately asked for a report from his son.
Damien spared a glance between his father and his brother before he breathed a sigh.
"The couple have been taken into custody. They returned to Scabbard of their own volition and were captured in the city square, spreading word of the divine healing...from the contagion." Damien revealed with a visible wince.
"And?" Lord Mycroft asked.
