Alexander’s eyes flared open, he started t shout ‘what’ but found his tongue bound behind locked teeth, he was now greatly displaced and rather angry; he fisted his hands and abruptly stood, all but slamming his fists onto the table at the same time “WHERE!?!” Alexander demanded with a grating shout as he turned a leering stare towards the boy. “Where are they taking it; Show me, Now.” Alexander insisted as he walked towards the door and the child whom he was soon looming over with a furiously enraged glint in his eyes.
He honestly did not care if he had just traumatized the poor lad, because the child knew a detail that had just became vital to him and that was that.
He needed to prevent further, pleasantries before the town did something he, and perhaps they, would soon regret. Assuming he got there before anything rash had happened he walk into the scene, not run, not jog but walk into the scene in a slight hurry while seething with great anger and frustration; obviously aimed at yet another fiasco happening before his eyes and demand that further action, beyond confining the gnoll in question for the time being, be halted immediately and that he speak to “...the suicidal fool in charge...” in an insulting and angered tone.
Regardless of which gnoll was held captive he would not pay more than a passing glance, if that; associating himself as the gnoll’s ally so soon would just cause further repercussions and anything the gnoll had to say would have to wait until things were sorted out anyways.
‘one thing after another!’ Alexander thought to himself with contempt.
OoC: We know what is about to happen, now that I've wasted that 19 I'm going to roll again in a bit and get a natural 1! XD
