*All Almann would hear would be some more whipping and screaming. It doesn't seem like she's stopping anytime soon... In fact, they only get louder.*
Ernest
"Yeah, of course."

*Katherine sits down with the steppe elf, turning slightly once she hears the muffled screams.*

"I do hope that she's ok, even if she *Is* A criminal."

"Aleksander had left saying that he was going to search for a stable income. We were on the run for a bit, so he wanted me to go to New Sunlight, where it would be safe."

*The vampire brushes a lock of hair behind her ear, looking at Sirdan with a solemn expression.*

"But it's been... Over 6 months now. And I've heard nothing from him. It's been so long, I'm starting to wonder if he's ever going to come back."

_Almann continues to smoke his pipe and tap his fingers. It's a hard lesson to learn for sure, and considering this isn't the first time she's done it the punishment seems fit. He might actually have to take Auburn to a clinic after if Hu Lang continues at this rate._

_Ultimately this is Hu Lang's business, she can dispose of criminals how she sees fit. It isn't his place to interrupt, though Almann's method might've been a little less drawn out. In all honesty a multiple time thief would had their hand or fingers removed by Almann before he beat the criminality out of them. Swift and concise punishment is more his forte._

_Almann was right on being weary of Hu Lang, the woman is brutal when it counts. Oriates tend to have that deceptive innocent and hospital look to them and then become more fierce than an ursine in a split second. They are harder to read, are more affluent in magic, and exceptionally intelligent. There weren't too many races out there that scared Almann, but Oriates were one of them. Hu Lang just solidifies this view more._

"Eh... Frontier justice aye." *Sirdan said, looking at the source of the noises.* 

"But this is middle of Salvainia. Ah well, I don't think anyone's going to court over a bunny being whipped for thievery. They tend to chop hands off for that." 

*He held his hands together, looking back at Katherine.* 

"Did he say much about what he was really looking for? Leave any contact? It feels... Strange. For someone to leave this way and never come back. He is your fiancee, is he not?"
