Fool's Rook [Closed]

Sairus watched with masked amusement as Owen subdued. His taciturn sense of calm was not easily visible on the surface, but Sai had known the other man long enough before his untimely death to be a decent judge of his more subtle appearances. The room was silent for a few heartbeats between Kama's leaving and Sairus' comment. Silent even longer as the lynx waited for the other man to answer.

The former guardsmen remained steadfast under the weight of Owen's speculation; allowed himself to be considered as he was wont to do when the mood stuck him. Sairus had no position of his own to hold in this metaphorical chess game that Julianna's brother and husband were playing on her life. Sai kept everything on the surface, he had no ulterior motives, and left all his cards face up. It was easier in sense, he had nothing to hide, nothing to gain, and nothing to lose from being uncomplicated.

He waited patiently as the other man settled on the desk. He allowed Owen to make a show of his collected calm even though it was a waste of time. Brows shot up as Owen waved a hand at him, and he bit back a growl.

Because he was calm, and rational and did not growl at people.

Or punch them.

Yes, he was a beacon of tranquility.

"I don't know anything about the magic they used on her," he admitted, pushing a large hand through his honey colored strands of bangs. "But... Darcias cast the spell, and she is likely to be more... accommodating with any details than Kama. If it can be reversed she will know what to do."

He sighed, with a resigned shrug. "As for finding her, I have a few leads. It's not a long trail, but it's mostly assumptive. It starts with Aphrodite. Getting in touch with her should be easy enough for you, yes?"
