[QUOTE="Belen, post: 2904146, member: 1405"] Alexi straightened to his full height. A near 7-foot tall Gremen could always cast an imposing figure. “In what manner were her wounds dealt, Father,” he said in his heavy accent, “I am interested to know.” The Father paused for a moment before answering. “I think that you may want to go fetch the constable, Smith Pere; however, to answer your question, it appears that she was attacked with bladed weapons: swords or small axes. Please tell him that Tanya, Verist’s wife, was murdered.” Alexi looked as if he wanted to say more, but knew that this may not be the best time. He took Verist to the back and laid him in a bed for Father Quinton. When he returned, the others stood milling about. He suggested that they go find the constable. While the Quills seemed to grumble, they grudgingly followed him. Genevieve followed her brother as he trailed the barmaid and the Gremen, complaining about the rude treatment and demanding that she fetch him a drink. She knew Penabel was fascinated by the Roviri barmaid, although his petulant demands were certainly the wrong way of going about wooing her. She really wished that he would not chase every semi-attractive woman within a week’s ride. It was so damned inconvenient. And she was almost broke, again. How could her brother spend so much on so little. He was so irresponsible!
