Carmen takes the two new acquaintances' introductions with a smile.  "Beatrice, Blake, nice to meet you both."  She eyes Beatrice warily.  "My house is my own business, dear...but since I'm so polite, I'll offer it nonetheless.  Carmen Rosewater, at your service."  She gives a none-too-happy nod of her head with it.<br/><br/>"So we have alot of magic going around...at least one wizard involved then, probably?  And if this murder is following the trend, then Ortiz is a dead faerie.  So why would a magi want a faerie dead?  It's gotta be something personal to do a murder like<em>that.</em>I mean, it probably wasn't that Ortiz owed them money.  I think we can assume it's nothing mundane."
