There has been no response from Ceri yet, which does not help.
For further confusion, upon further examination of Skylar's injuries, the specialists determined that they came from an unregistered talisman, meaning that there is someone out there in the world violating international law. The Bookkeeper just submitted a letter to a federal Arbitrator to have an investigation launched on this.
I believe that they will reply to this one a lot sooner than to Robert Lauth's complaint; though the trail may come to a dead end.
In the meantime, Robert said today that the supposed mystery figure who attacked them both was a hitman hired by Skylar or a close friend of hers and that the injuries Skylar received were due to friendly fire. And regarding Ceri Mains, Robert said...
"She's run before. And she'll do it again."
For as many supporters Robert had, there were at least almost as many people there to oppose him. These people expressed outrage, and justifiably so, when Robert said what he said. Skylar managed to calm both sides, but insisted that there was no way to prove through the injuries that the hitman was hired by her close friend and that saying so was stretching it with the speculations. She also said that the chances of friendly fire were slim due to the rigorous training involved in order to get one's spellcaster license.
"You should know better than that if you're a spellcaster too," she added.
She also made a point that the request made to Ceri could take up to three days to produce results.
Robert then started going on about how the police not asking other witnesses about the June 28 incident was somehow a sign that Skylar had some sort of favor with them, then went on about how Ceri apparently had nothing else to do while handling the request for that documentation.
There were no other witnesses around during the incident, as Skylar explained. And Ceri, in fact, has a lot going on in her life, and furthermore has to submit a request through the Darkfire Script Registry, a process beyond her control.
It seems at this point that Skylar's grounding is a lot better than Robert's. I notice that he is resorting to rather irrational bantering, which is a behavior exhibited by those losing a debate while refusing to admit this publicly or to themselves.
