[If you've been paying attention to your journal, you might see a quick flicker of an enraged pair of broken shades glaring up at you. If you haven't, well you'll probably see them first-hand soon because Equius has arrived and he is not very happy.

There's a fierce yell and a quick glimpse of the room as the journal goes soaring through the air and into the wall. Hard to read properly when you're blind with anger.

WHEN I FIND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS-

[His voice quickly becomes distant as he makes his way into the hall, shutting the door with a loud SLAM.

Anyone who sees the young troll might want to stay out of his way or risk having him charge into you/interrogate you because THIS IS OBVIOUSLY YOUR FAULT.

[Isabella is unimpressed. She crosses her arms.

She would, perhaps, think twice if this was her own world, and Equius was an adult. Or, if he had an adult to enforce his haughty views.

But, none of those applied here. It was a whole new playing field.]

Then be on your way already, sir.

[One would think she took the 'beneath' comment to be directed at her.]

[It is difficult to force a new view on one so solidly set in his ways.]

Fine then. I shall.

[And off he went, down the hall, turning the corner.

...Moments later, he's seen running in the opposite direction.

...And then back in the original direction. NO HE'S NOT LOST ISABELLA.

Nepeta? NEPETA. Where are you...

[Oh bloody Heavens... Guilt assaults Isabella seeing the kid run around in circles. Let alone calling for Nepeta.

She steps aside and points down a flight of steps. All the rough hard edges of her earlier demeanor is gone leaving behind something carefully neutral.]

The stairs are this way, Equius. I do not know where Nepeta is for sure, but she has a shipping wall outside that she could be at.

It is rather large.

[She sighs heavily. She expects nothing from this, except perhaps her own guilt eased for her troubles. She was, after all, beneath him.]

[Equius pauses, looking at Isabella.

He then glances towards the stairs, where she's pointing. He's not saying a word, but the scowl on his face is slowly fading into a slightly less pissed off look. He will not thank you, Isabella, but he gives a slight nod. As he begins walking towards the stairs, he stops at the top step.
]

Has she been safe at this Keep.

[He's not looking at you, to avoid letting you see the slight look of concern on his face.]

[She wouldn't even dream of someone with pure blood giving her the time of day, far be it a thanks. The nod, slight as it appeared, was more than she expected.

The question was unexpected.

Equius cared.

Unfortunately, Isabella had no good news. She shakes her head.]

No one is safe in this Keep.

[There's a cold silence from the troll as he took in these words. It's a miracle that nothing (as far as Equius knows, so far) had happened to Nepeta.

Still, a chill runs up his spine. This Keep was not safe, but neither was The Veil and that just means Equius will have to do his damn best to make sure no harm comes to him or his moirail. Or Sollux... Maybe. Not really... maybe.
]

Hmph...

[He turned his head, giving Isabella a slightly hostile yet determined look.]

We shall see about that.

[So much hostility toward her! Was he accusing her words with being a challenge instead of stated fact?]

It is no doing of mine!

The Lord and his Mistress here, have kept a great many secrets from all of us that have arrived! Most of what has not been mentioned, has also not been pleasant and the only way to find this out, unfortunately, has been to encounter it ourselves.

[He asked if Nepeta was safe. Not if something had happened. There is a large distinction in that.]

[Nothing personal. This glare of his is always on his face. Equius will take anything as a challenge if it can be worded even slightly as such.]

I see. The Lord and Mistress here, do you know their names?

[He's facing her, now. Standing firmly on the ground like a troll on a mission.]

There may be many secrets here, but that does not matter to me. Me and the other two will not be here long enough to experience any of these unpleasant encounters.

[Yes, he means Sollux too now. He may be a lower blood but he still has his uses. Besides, his blood is only a few shades from Nepeta's and she's turned out fine. Don't ever expect him to say anything nicer than that, though.]

[She'll work it out eventually...Maybe.]

Lord Deior and Lady Isabel.

[Not to be confused with Isabella. Those two were opposites in many a way for sure, and the bard will do anything to stay out of her way after seeing what happened during the trial.

That is some very strong worry on Isabella's face at your words, Equius.

Perhaps she doesn't want people to leave?]

We have been here for months...

[She was pleading silently that he could catch what she didn't want to say: those encounters had already happened.]

[Equius made a mental note to reach those two. Shouldn't be too hard.]

I will find them.

[He gives Isabella one last glance before turning back down the stairs to continue his search.]

You all have been here for months because none were apparently STRONG enough to force their wishes of leaving upon the owners of this Keep. I will.

[He catches a bit of it, Isabella. That only causes him to speed up his walking.]

[There's not much else she could say. He was liable not to take any amount of advice or warning to heart. Sure in his own strength as he was with an ego far outstripping it.

Still her lips pursed and she crossed her arms, almost hugging herself, watching as he walked away.

Nepeta would set him straight.]
