Jevlan was waiting outside the captain's office when Donnen Brennokovic slunk out, defeated.
"We're not getting a warrant are we?" Jevlan looked almost relieved.
"No." Donnen met his partners eyes. The kid was barely twenty and looked like he'd walked straight to Kirkwall barracks from somebody's potato farm. Taller and broader than the other guards, Jevlan slouched as if he didn't know how to fit into his own limbs, as if he thought he should be smaller. Hunched over in his brand new, too-large armor, he liked like a child playing at being a guard. He was too green for a murder investigation.
"Maybe it's for the best," Jevlan said, almost speaking Donnen's thought out loud. "You're on your way out of the guard and I'm..." He trailed off, then sighed. "Questioning nobles in the middle of the night wasn't covered in training."
Donnen glared at the kid. "I'm a city guard. And so are you, recruit. Nobody gets away with murder while we're on duty."
Jevlan stood a little straighter. "What do we do, then?"
"The captain wants proof." Donnen smiled. "We bring her proof."
