A Mage's Display

Damilla's words caused a wave of both confusion and apprehension in the room. They could mean anything.

Terian was the most confused. 

As per his thoughts, this could only go either of two ways. 

Either Skullius was guilty, in which cause Damilla would be elated and spend the rest of her days rubbing it in his aged face, a possibility that he genuinely hoped to not be true.

Or, Skullius could be innocent, in which case Damilla would just sulk to herself and watch Silrat and Erkus gush over Skullius' class while brushing off her instinctual observation.

With that in mind, what was with this excessive reaction?
