The air seemed still as they walked back towards the Lord of Minds home. They only got a few interested glances but no one could guess, no one knew.
"So? What are you going to do now?" Madam Rucia asked, generally curious.
Stiles didn't answer right away though his shoulders slumped slightly as he replied, sighing "Would you believe me if I told you I have no clue what I'm doing?"
She just smiled at that, shaking her head slightly "I don't believe that? If you really think about it, you'll know what you should do next, just take it one step at a time"
Stiles muttered, looking up at the Lord of Minds home as they came to a stop "One step at a time"
He could feel Rocrik's presence, he was still in the place where he'd told him to wait.
"I guess sorting out what to do with Rocrik is my first step, then finding someone to take his place"
Madam Rucia nodded but she wanted to know something else.
"What about Roseleta?"
Roseleta...
How could he have...?!
Stiles clenched his jaw, hands clenching into fists.
A surge of anger ran through him, directed at himself and her.
How the hell could he have forgotten about her? Forgotten what she'd done. He'd heard she had fled once she had heard the last Grand Master would be involved.
"If she expects not to face the consequences for her actions she has another thing coming" Stiles growled, releasing his own control over his voice, letting his new power seep through his words.
Madam Rucia could literally feel the anger start to rise from him in waves, the air around them seemed to almost respond to his anger. An electricity feeling in the air that hadn't been there before.
Despite the danger radiating from him and the way her own instincts telling her it would be best if she took a couple of steps between them, Madam Rucia simply said, not feeling sorry for who she'd would be directing this anger on "Do you think Rocrik will know anything about where she has gone?"
Stiles nodded at that, his eyes narrowing and his voice clipped "Good idea"
They both walked directly towards the Lord of Minds room.
"Do you mind if I watch?" She asked, not hiding the amusement out of her voice. Madam Rucia definitely would enjoy this...
Stiles didn't respond but Madam Rucia took to mean he didn't mind. As soon as they got to the Lord of Minds room, she hung back, closer to the door as Stiles approached the Ex Lord of Mind, who looked like any second he was going to wet himself in pure fear.
"Wheres Roseleta?!" Stiles demanded.
Rocrik's expression of fear morphed into one of anger and disgust "How the hell should I know where the bi- ah!"
Stiles with no hesitation got right into Rocrik's personal space, who stumbled backwards and tripped over his own cloak, falling hard on to his backside.
"Think very hard. If you lie to me-" Stiles threatened, crouching down slightly so they were eye level. He was still at his ordinary hight so it wasn't that hard to meet his eyes, forcing him to meet his unwavering glare.
"I-I'm not! I swear!" He cried out, the ex Lord of Mind trembled in the anger he could see in Stiles eyes.
"Rocrik" Stiles warned, his voice like acid, eating away at the older sorcerers soul.
He watched as Rocrik desperately searched for information inside him memories, anything to stop this fear driving through his bones.
The new Grand Master let out a sigh, standing upwards he turned away from Rocrik and said coldly "Well, if you have no information for me you're no use to me, now are you? I suppose I'll just-"
"No! Wait! I think I- yes, I remember something!"
Stiles withheld his triumphant smile as he turned to Rocrik, keeping his cold exterior to the forefront.
"Oh really? How surprising"
His sarcasm did leek through a little though...
Finally, they were getting somewhere.
