Gis chuckles at Ru's comments, and gives an affirmative nod to Skyler.
Gis regards Rhiannon.
"He will want to see the evidence we have. If there is a case to be made, he will be able to show the potential flaws."
The company leaves the dungeons, and heads outside, where coaches await. Standing just outside the gates, a small white carriage waits. It is drawn by two ponies. Its driver is also in white, and fully covered by a mask in the shape of a pony's head. He silently watches the coaches pass by.

The coaches travel through the cobblestoned streets, twisting their way through tight alleys. The alleys open into wider avenues, passing through manned iron gates to large, landscaped parkways above the rabble. They come to rest at a large abode, where footmen arrive to see to the policemen's needs as they disembark.
Cassilda welcomes the police.
"Welcome to D'Marosso Manor," a middle-aged woman greets.
"Gustav is ready to meet with you. Do come in." She shows everyone in through the large, ornately carved wood doors, down a marble hall, into a study.
Gustav D'Marosso waits for the police.
The noble looks up.
"Ah, good, you've arrived. Thank you, Cassilda, you may go. Please make sure lunch is ready for everyone."
"Thank you, your honor." Cassilda curtseys and leaves, closing the doors behind her.
Lord D'Marosso looks over the group, and grins magnanimously.
"Ah, so good of you to stop by. So, tell me, what can you say about the Clocktower District murders?"
