The scent of chaos called to me, singing and howling until I paid attention. Excolo's rolling like a drunken, mad thing, feeding on its own dark energy as it tries to turn on itself and as much as I want to wade into the fray. I won't. Not yet anyway, and from my perch atop the Sheriff's office, I watch the scene unfold, small horror upon horror.

Garm's in my hand and for the moment, I'm unseen but if this riot keeps getting worse, I'm revealing myself and jumping in. I'm just waiting for the right time. My companion's invisible as well but I can see him clearly with the ointment on my eyes, but unlike me, he's impatient. Odin knows that when he gets into his worst troubles. His sharp eyes scan the screaming mass before he leans forward slightly, pointing out where the breached window is in Mab's house as he asks, "Now?"

I smile, saying, "No." He sighs heavily before asking, "Will I make it home before Glass realizes I'm gone?"

Pulling my hair back from my face, I tilt my head and reply, "Maybe. We'll try but I'm not promising you anything." I smile sweetly and offer, "Actually, you can leave anytime you like. All you have to do is get off the roof. On your own." He doesn't like that and I laugh at the face he gives me. "Stop fidgeting. We're just waiting for the signal."

He looks over the edge again, hanging on tightly to balance himself before looking back at me impatiently. "There are knights on horseback, people are firing guns and a few people have already been trampled. What, may I ask, was the signal again?"

My smile's a thin one as I reply, "Miao screaming or Mab falling." I look at him straight on as I continue seriously, "If that happens, you go home and lock the doors. Thomas already knows to not let anyone leave but he'll need help defending the Tavern if the riot moves that way."
