Nodding in approval, the leader of the guards then directed himself to the mob of citizens and declared, "We'll be taking responsibility over this disturbance. In the meantime, the rest of you men and women must clear this space at once; a group of mages will be coming to investigate this tragedy. Please cooperate by moving along!"
Reluctantly, everyone eventually abided by the guard's words and left to go about their own businesses. Leo and Austin also stalked off after giving one last fleeting glance at the mutilated corpse. Retracing their steps back in the direction they had arrived from, neither of them were able to utter a word to each other.
