[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2751188, member: 17691"] Momentarily startled at the sudden intrusion into his small single room apartment Damien, dressed only in a pair of breaches, quickly rises from the small table to face the two guardsmen. Taking a deep breath to regain his composure the young man smiles reassuringly to the pair standing in the doorway. Damien half turns and reaches out with his right hand to take the tunic draped over the back of the chair in which he'd been sitting. With his back to the guards, the young man watches the distorted view of his left hand through the small knot in the fabric of reality that he holds cupped gently in his palm. The visual distortion begins to straighten itself out as Damien releases the ephemeral mana he'd instinctively gathered into his hand when the door opened suddenly. Once he can see his left palm clearly once more the arcanist breathes a sigh of relief, picks up the tunic and pulls it down over his head. [COLOR=SandyBrown][I]"I am. You'll have to pardon my disheveled appearance; I wasn't expecting a summons this morning."[/I][/COLOR] Damien then sits down in the chair and begins pulling on his boots. Looking up at the senior guardsman, Damien frowns gently and continues: [COLOR=SandyBrown][I]"I'm sorry you fine gentlemen have been bothered with such a trivial matter as this; I'm hardly deserving of such a distinguished escort."[/I][/COLOR] Getting up, the young man retrieves his leather jerkin from the squat bed and pulls it on, to be followed shortly by his burgundy cloak.
