"I see. Well then, we had best not delay. Come." Having said that, Loki began making his way out of the city, motion for Rita and Jessica to follow. Once outside the city walls, Loki began moving to the spot where he had last seen Fafnir. Eventually, he stopped and looked towards Shaintaio, to see if he was being watched, seeing nothing to indicate this, he turned to jessica, asking, "Creating portals is a thing that takes a toll on your body, is it not? How many portals can you create before this toll becomes a hinderance?"

Having finished her visiting Ardimas, and other tasks she need to see to, Estella made her way towards the prison. Inside, she was greeted by the acting warden.
"Lieutenant Lucis? What brings you here?" the warden asked as he lead Estella to his office.
"I came to personally verify a suspicion I have. The possesions of the one suspected of the attempted murder of Lieutenant Colonel Ardimas. I wish to see them." she demanded, then remembered the name Tophat gave upon introducing itself, and Rita's claims. "Anything but the hat. In fact, place the hat in its own cell."
"Ma'am? This is most unusual. Might I ask what this is about?"
"We have reason to believe the hat is alive. Have you not been informed of this?"
"No, ma'am. But I'll have someone do as you ask."
Once presented with a box containing Tophat's belongings, she pretended to search through it, and as she did, discreetly slipped a piece of white chalk from her sleeve, into the pocket of the trousers. Once done, Estella frowned.
"As I suspected." Looking back to the warden, she said, "This would be all."
When Estella made for the door, the warden asked, "Ma'am, if I might ask, why did you come here yourself?"
"For reasons of national security, warden. That's all you need to know for now. Just make certain this prisoner is under heavy guard." Having said that, Estella left.
OoC: And then I became tired. G'night.
