The man looks him over. It’s good that they’re taking each other’s measure; Daud hates people who don’t pay attention, unless they’re a target, in which case he doesn’t even spare a shred of disdain for them before they die.
Edward snaps something, a question and a protest all in one, and jerks to his feet in a motion that makes Daud think attack! But it isn’t—he still Transverses back and his hand goes to his blade.
“Calm down,” he barks, like he’s commanding a skittish Novice or a feral hound. “The castle did it. It’s strange, but that’s the consensus.”
