"She might have taken off a good ways, dear," says John after waiting a few moments for some kind of response from the young woman who darted off. "If she can hear she might be too scared to come out, no thanks to that old man." He lets out a sigh of frustration from the way the day has been going so far, which was not exactly what he was expecting.<span style="font-style: italic">It's been like one giant circus being here. The estate, the security check, that guard Erynn, Jaime the head servant, even Ambrosia seems to be acting a bit off since we got here.</span>He looks to his wife and carefully scans her eyes to get any kind of sign of whether or not he was just being dramatic or if there really is some sort of shift in her behavior. He trusts her completely and even though there is an understanding between them that they both have complete control over their own minds and actions, which allows them to fully learn each other, John can not help but feel like there is something going on that he is in the dark about. She thinks him to be oblivious to those moments where she does something not quite usual for her behavior but he never misses anything with her, which he has yet to fully engage her about.<br/><br/>Ambrosia gave a spiteful snort at the young girl in the tall grass being able to resist the call of the Siren. Most normal humans cannot resist unless they have an exceptionally strong power of will, which many humans lack as she has discovered over the years. This would bring the obvious conclusion that this young girl is either not entirely human or she has a very strong mind, which both peaks the interest of the luring siren as well as frustrates her that her power does not work on another person. There are many creatures out there who have been able to resist the call as well as humans, but it still surprises her when she comes across another. "She can hear me," Ambrosia lets the words slip out of her lips before she is able to stop herself, hoping John did not hear it and is relieved that his attention is caught by the unexpected announcement of someone else arriving.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">This day just gets better and better,</span>John thinks to himself as he turns around to announcement of the man from the sheriff's department, quickly noticing the newcomer's hand on top of his holster. A quick look at the badge on the man's chest tells John that this person in fact the sheriff, "Is it the policy around these parts for everyone to be so trigger happy," he asked in a slightly sarcastic tone as his heartbeat quickened at the situation that seems to be getting a bit out of hand. "We could use your help maybe," he says in a matter of fact tone to try and calm himself down, "there is a young woman running around out here with not much in the way of clothing on and right before you showed up she took off. Apart from that, we are ok. We're new to town," he gestures towards Ambrosia who is currently giving the sheriff a stern look in the eyes, not trusting what sort of mindset this man might have. "I just inherited the Verance estate here, I'm Johnny Verance, great-grandson of Corann Verance who passed away recently. Pleasure to meet you, Sheriff..."
