Listening to why exactly the guard was here, Edwyrd had to hold back a sigh of disappointment. Damn it, that bitch Kuriva had sold him out after all1 Either she was genuinely angry over what had happened, or she cared more about Lavi than he had thought. Not that he was sure how, unless his former master was a lot more respectful to her social equals or something. But what was done was done, and that left him with this situation to deal with instead.<br/><strong><br/>"I guess I'm not going to walk away from this am I,</strong>" he remarked as the guard gave him an angry look and gestured for him to go inside, with her weapon to back it up. Yeah, he was probably in trouble. Quickly he started thinking up some sort of excuse as he moved inside to find the place practically turned upside down with the search ongoing.<br/><br/>Upon seeing the CO though, he couldn't help but take a step back in surprise, eyes widening and tail stiffening a bit. Gee, if this was the kind of people they sent to prosecute the law, then he should be a suspected criminal more often. At least that was what he thought as he looked over the Paladin and pointedly avoided looking at the giant sword. His gaze narrowed in slight annoyance as he caught sight of Lavi, not that he could blame her for what she was doing but still annoyed that she was showing such attention to someone who wasn't him! He'd gone to all that trouble and he wasn't getting any of the benefits from it, to his outrage.<br/><br/>Frowning, he did his best to not act terrified as she turned on him, guards moving to join her as well as she demanded his cooperation in facilitating his own arrest. Puffing up his chest, he met her gaze and nodded.<strong>"Of course I'm willing to cooperate, and I assure you this is a big misunderstanding, caused by vicious slander and lies from jealous kitties. My name is Edwyrd Kirrinos. You may have heard of my family.</strong>" He shot her a knowing look, as if waiting to confirm that she did recognize the prestigious name. Of course, he was also busy trying to keep his tail under control, so hopefully things didn't go really badly for him
