Richard Arcane
For the last time..............
Richard was feeling like being placed under a microscope the more and more the conversation continued. Once Charon stopped and awaited Richard's reply- the President gets up, tipping the cup of tea over and spilling its contents- and looked right at Charon staring at her in the eye...
Richard Arcane: Look. I don't know where this Staff of Mumblejumbo is at..... If I did, then I think by now that me and my brother would have Mortis bowing down to us.
Charon was attentive and gazed into Richard's eyes and noticed a drop of sweat rolling down from his left eye brow. Richard was nervous... there was something he was hiding from her. Now knowing this she stood up - reached for a towel and soaked up the tea from off of the table - she could had let the butler do this, but she purposely wanted to take control of the cleanup so she had another excuse to ask questions now that she had Richard in an uncomfortable position.
Charon Death: Please forgive me Richard, I believe you. Just, if, there was anything... even the slightest little detail then it would make the world to us. If only it was in our hands- I could unlock it's potential.
Rubbing his chin, Richard thought about it for a moment and returned with his statement....
Richard Arcane: I can't help you Charon......... But now that you mention it, [Charon stopped and looked at Richard], I do recall hearing long ago, from my brother, that the last known whereabouts of the Staff was neither in Spade or Mortis' possessions. Spade's evil partner in crime, Dalkiel, stole the Staff and it has been lost ever since. The Staff was presumed to be destroyed... I regret to say this, Charon, but you will have to abandon this goose chase.. now if you would excuse me [turns to leave]
