She grabs the glass and drinks the water eagerly.
Yeah, well, I'm letting that creep get away with that.
She frowns.
Not sure how helpful my testimony will be though. I may not be considered a reliable source.

*Eldaris nods and sips his water.*
"Probably not, in all honesty. Still, anything is better than nothing at all. Also, if you say you are willing to walk into a Zone of Truth, it may help things.
Can you think of anyone else who may have seen anything?"

Sure, that's no problem. But if that measures what I think is truth...
She rolls up her sleeve and shows him the needle marks on her arm.
Not really, unless you count the dead guys- that is, the victim and the vamp. And perhaps a spying council member or two, they always seem to know everything that is going on anyways.

*Eldaris looks at the marks and frowns.*
"That might cause problems."
*He shakes his head.*
"The Councillors usually don't interfere unless it is something of great importance, personal interest, or they were witness to the event. If they are known witnesses, they have to testify. Otherwise, we can't prove a thing about that. One of them might come forward. It isn't unheard of, especially for crimes in the Central section, so near the Spire.
I'll check, though. I can promise that."

Hey, I'm clean, have been for a- a while now.
Sighs and pulls her sleeve back.
Might help your case if you test me, though.

"Glad to hear that."
*Eldaris begins chanting and gesturing over the marks. After a time, he nods.*
"Yes, you are clean."
*He takes note of that in his little book.*

Do I need to sign or something?
She looks at Eldaris and around the room. It's been a while since she was last here. She wonders if the guy that questioned her then still remembers her- encountered him on more than one occasion- the drug squad, of course, barging in on parties and stuff. The sight of that poor bastard getting his throat slit by Kaitan is still fresh before her eyes. Animal. Just an animal. Makes her sick. She wonders idly since when she became a responsible member of society, coming here to testify against a murderer and all, while she was almost one herself not a week ago. Would Satorius be proud of her? She sighs. Probably not, she's probably done something or other wrong again. Hells, she's only sixteen, what does he expect? She studies Eldaris' face. He looks nice enough, for a cop. She wonders what he would say if he knew how she messed up her life. Not that he would care. The corner of her mouth twitches. Why is she asking herself what a complete stranger would think about her? It's not as if it matters what anyone thinks.

*Eldaris nods and pulls a paper from a nearby stack. He puts this before her and hands her a quill.*
"Sign here, here, and here please."
*He points out each place.*
"If you want witness protection, sign here."

She signs in all three places, then shakes her head.
Nah. I'm not afraid of a parasite.

*Eldaris smiles and picks up the form, handing it to a guard who walks in.*
"We'll call on you if we need you. In the meantime, you can go back home if you want."

Nods.
Okay.
She gets up, hesitates.
I- er- I live in the Evensong Inn.
Nods at him.
See you.
She walks out, towards the inn.

*Eldaris smiles and takes note of this before standing and walking back to the pool of water to watch the vampire and George.*

*No sound could be heard through the walls, even for Kaitan's vampiric ears. The Cleric continues.* "Actually, we have a witness, and there are Divinations. Lack of a body is only a small delay. If you confess now, we could go easy on you." *Eldaris sighed as he watched from the outside. They probably weren't going to get this guy.* Kaitan calmly removes his gloves and sets them down. He cocks his head to one side. "What is the punishment for murder in this city?"

Kaitan calmly removes his gloves and sets them down. He cocks his head to one side. "What is the punishment for murder in this city?" "That depends: Sometimes it means execution, other times a life sentence. Or, imprisonment for an extended period of time via spellbinding. If we go easy on you, we could reduce the sentence and many other such things."

Kaitan nods and is quiet for quite a while. One of the things he doesn't believe in is suicide, and he comes to the conclusion that letting himself get executed is the same thing. He opens his mouth as if to speak a few times, and eventually does.
"He... stole from me."
