Gandrav smirked at her reaction and leaned back in his chair, visiblypleased with himself. He didn't answer though and the knocking came again.<br/>"Master the city watch would like an audience, they say the matter is urgent." Haley's voice came from outside. After the man didn't answer for a few more moments, the redhead asked again, more hesitantly. "Shall I tell them that...you're busy?"<br/>His smirk only grew as he looked at Evelyn.<br/>"Send them in Haley." he finally answered and the patter of feet was audible to the paladin as the maid rushed off to bring the officials in.<br/>"So Angel, what do you say? Am I a busy and influential man? Do we give the guards a show?" he asked, indicating below his desk. Their first meeting came to her mind when his maid, or as she believed then slave obediently serviced him without the need for a word, demonstrating his influence even if exaggerated to the visitor.  "Ah then again, our contract is over and you don't work for me. Maybe I can ask Haley still. Then again she's useless if it came to a fight and there is the chance these men will try to take me in, with force if necessary. I'm curious, would you defend me if that came to be, Angel?"<br/><br/>The visitors would arrive in less than a minute, knowing the layout of the mansion. Evelyn had to decide if she was to stay and witness the encounter and what role she would take in it.
